Summary

The February 2005 Beaver Beacon announced an April 30 Beaver Island Sock Hop, and the April issue identified it as the AMVETS Ladies Auxiliary’s second annual event. Both notices invited Islanders to revive 1950s dress, including poodle skirts, bobby socks, and saddle shoes.

Evidence limits

The February and April notices establish the planned event and its second-annual description but do not document the program, attendance, or proceeds.
