Summary

The March 2013 Beaver Beacon announced the 2013 Beaver Island Ice Classic tower launch and its March 20 target, while later organizer posts reported that the tower contest ended when the organizer reported the tower clock stopping at 12:12 p.m. on April 11. Brian Tidmore of Santa Monica was reported as the winner, and ticket sales were said to exceed $1,400.

  3. Organizer Bob Tidmore announced the contest and reported that the tower clock stopped at an unofficial 12:18 p.m. on April 11, with ticket sales just over $1,400; a later organizer update gives the actual time as 12:12 p.m. and names Brian Tidmore of Santa Monica as winner. The result is a first-party organizer report, not an independent timing or financial audit; a humorous rumor about pushing the tower is not treated as evidence.
