Chamber and participant posts report the delayed June 26 harbor flyover, later observed low passes, Saturday rides and tours, sponsors, and the aircraft departure plan; the thread is an event-channel account and does not establish attendance or a complete flight log.

Beaver Island Chamber of Commerce, "One More Air Show Sponsors Needed - Please Consider," Beaver Island Forum, May 26–June 15, 2009.
The Chamber listed sponsors, the June 26–28 arrival/display/ride schedule, and a planned B-25 ride for World War II veteran Paul Neumann. The sponsor and ride details are organizer notices; the June Beaver Beacon remains the stronger source for the announced show and aircraft history.

Angel Welke and participants, "B25 Stopping in Charlevoix Sunday June 28," Beaver Island Forum, June 24–27, 2009.
The Island Airways notice announced the Yankee Air Museum B-25 stop in Charlevoix after the Beaver Island show, with tours and rides; a participant reported taking a ride. This is a related aircraft-tour notice, not evidence that the Beaver Island show itself had a particular attendance or flight schedule.
