Summary
The April 1964 Beaver Beacon reported on the Chicago and Lansing Beaver Island parties announced for March. It said the Chicago event had its largest attendance to that point, with buffet dinner and dancing, and that the Lansing event counted 216 attendees while additional people arrived without being recorded.
Evidence and limits
The February issue preserves the planned dates and the April issue reports outcomes. The attendance figures are newspaper counts, not complete rosters or audited accounts.
