Summary
The Beaver Island Civic Association’s sixth annual Winter Games were held on February 2, 1986, after weather delayed the planned January 25 date. The March report describes a southwest-harbor programme of skiing, snowmobile and three-wheeler races, muzzle loading, food, a bake sale, and raffles.
Evidence limits
The January item is an advance programme and the March item is a retrospective community report. Neither supplies a complete attendance ledger, audited proceeds, or outcomes for every listed activity.
