Evidence limits
The forum preserves the launch and rules, but not the final date, winning prediction, ticket count, or proceeds.

- PABI announced that the ice tower had been launched in the north end of the harbor, sold prediction tickets for $5 or six for $20, and allocated half the proceeds to the winner and half to the Community Center. The notice also listed prior years’ dates and payouts; it does not establish the 2017 draw result.forum · www.beaverislandforum.com · 11 · t011260
- PABI said the Ice Classic buoy was in position, thanked the launch team, and promoted prediction tickets supporting the Community Center and WVBI.
