Summary

The June 1971 Beaver Beacon described the summer season at the Beaver Lodge, Bee Hive, Castaways, Circle M Lodge, and Killarney Inn. The Beaver Lodge was scheduled to open July 1 with a July 3 smorgasbord, while the other businesses were reported open or operating on summer schedules.

Evidence and limits

This is a seasonal newspaper report, not a complete business directory, licensing record, or set of independent opening dates.
