Summary

Cold weather and limited snow moved the Beaver Island Winter Carnival indoors to the Community Center in January 2010. The Beacon reports children’s games, crafts, prizes, and parent participation; forum notices add climate and wildlife programming, birdhouse construction, and the indoor snowman station.

Evidence limits

The newspaper and institutional forum notices do not provide an attendance count or complete winners list. The forum’s “winners on display” notice establishes a contest follow-up, not the identities of the winners.
