Beaver Island merchants, “Open House, Pruning Demo and Drawing Winner!” and “Open House Thank You!!,” Beaver Island Forum, June 2–3, 2012.
The follow-ups report that the open house proceeded in rain and cold, a pruning demonstration took place, 76 people entered a drawing, and named winners received prizes. A companion thank-you identifies additional winners and participating merchants. These are organizer reports, not attendance or sales audits.
