Summary

The October 2013 Beaver Beacon reports that St. James Boat Shop traveled from Beaver Island to the Tip of the Mitt Paddle Fest in Cheboygan on September 6–8, 2013. The visit included a product display and observation of paddleboarding, kayaking, safety instruction, music, and related events. The article presents a future small-watercraft event on Beaver Island as a possibility, not as an event that occurred.

Evidence limits

The source documents the Boat Shop’s visit and the author’s proposal for a possible island event; it does not establish that a Beaver Island paddle festival was subsequently held.
