Summary
Just before school began in 1969, about 25 Beaver Island schoolchildren were taken to a County Fair in Traverse City. The report says boat fare was donated, cars were supplied by Charlevoix Oil Company and Erber Auto, and the children visited rides and a zoo before camping overnight.
Evidence and limits
The newspaper gives the approximate group size and itinerary but not the exact date, full participant list, or independent transportation records.
