Summary

The April 1983 Beacon announced a Civic Association Spring Fling at the Shamrock for April 23. The May issue reported that about 50 people attended an Open Mike Talent Night and that proceeds again supported the Fourth of July fireworks and carnival.

Evidence limits

The May account is a newspaper outcome report, not an attendance ledger or audited receipts record.
