Summary
The Beaver Island Civic Association announced and later reported a smorgasbord supper at Holy Cross Parish Hall on April 24, 1965. The April notice described a movie, skit, and music to start trout season; the May report adds schoolchildren’s vocal selections, a student skit about a frustrated newspaper editor, and a film about California forest fires.
Evidence and limits
The April issue is an advance announcement and the May issue is a follow-up; neither supplies an attendance count, receipts, or surviving program.
