In addition to the great opportunity to learn of the variety of organizations whose mission it is to help YOU in life, stopping in for the fair today is a great way to poke your head in Beaver Island Community School.

Come and catch a glimpse of the school creatures in their natural habitat. Walk through a few classrooms as you meet with people from the Office of Veteran's Affairs, United Way, the Women's Resource Center, and many others.

Be sure to bring in items to donate to the BI Food Pantry if you can.

The fair went off without a hitch, a glitch, or a twitch (I think).

Thank you to all who attended, and to the many members of the community (school and otherwise) who helped out in any one of so many ways.

Live Well, Feel Well, Be Well.

Sierra, Seth and Shyeanne really enjoyed the event! We did as well. All of the displays were informative! The kids enjoyed getting "hands on" experience with the elk heart (thanks Brad). They also liked the Dog show, obstacle course and the ambulance!
