The Beaver Island Historical Society announced a Pirate Party at Whiskey Point for June 23, 2018, with food, music, contra dancing, costumes, and a treasure hunt. A participant’s follow-up described the party as successful and suggested making it an annual event.
Evidence limits
The date is inferred from the announcement and the next-day follow-up. The organizer’s invitation and participant report establish the planned and contemporaneously described event, but not attendance or an independent outcome measure.
