Summary

The Beaver Island Historical Society announced an August 30, 1981 open house at the Marine Museum and Print Shop, combining a raffle drawing, music, community questions about historic objects and photographs, and cookbook sales. A later issue reports Bussy and Eleanor LaFreniere won the hand-hooked rug made by Ed Ladd.

Evidence limits

The July–August notice establishes the planned open house and program; the September–October follow-up establishes the printed raffle result but not attendance or a complete raffle ledger.
