Lois Sowa Stipp and Beaver Island Community Center, "Award winning writer...book signing tomorrow at the art show," "Steve Hamilton Mystery Writer today 12-3pm at the Gregg Hall," and "Friday is last day for art show," Beaver Island Forum, July 20–22, 2011.
The posts announced Steve Hamilton's book signing at the Gregg Fellowship Hall art show, gave the noon–3 p.m. time, and included a same-day community reply saying the event was successful. The forum establishes event logistics and a participant report, not attendance or sales.

The advance notice identifies the signing as part of the art show; it is an organizer announcement rather than an independent biography or sales record.
