Summary
The Preservation Association’s Beaver Island Ice Classic was underway in March 2008, with a tower placed on the ice east of the Beaver Island Marina. Entrants guessed the day, hour, and minute when melting ice would tip the tower; tickets were $5 each or five for $20. The article cites the 2007 and 2006 tip times and reported prizes as historical context.
