Summary
Fresh Air Aviation announced a Winter Fest on Lake G for February 19, 2011. The March follow-up reports that about 150 people attended at a North Arm home, where food, skating, snowmobiling, and other activities went ahead after a cold snap firmed the ice. The event organizer’s forum follow-up estimated more than 200 attendees, but acknowledged that people came and went throughout the day.
Evidence limits
The March account and organizer’s forum estimate report different approximate attendance figures (150 versus more than 200). Neither provides a complete attendance list, budget, or independently audited count; the disagreement may reflect different counting methods.

Sources
- Fresh Air organizer Rachel Teague announced the event, posted a same-day notice, and later reported that attendance was difficult to count but estimated more than 200 people; community replies described the party. This first-party estimate conflicts with the March Beacon’s approximate count of 150, so neither number is treated as an audited attendance total.forum · www.beaverislandforum.com · 03 · t003059
