Booklets, "Where on Cranberry Island 2007" contest (a.k.a. ?CI) created by Bruce Komusin. Some blank entry forms, Bruce's master form with the correct answers, and Gail Colby's winning form. She got most but not all answers correct, and won by default, being the only entrant to submit a form. Charlotte Harlan also paid to enter the contest but never submitted her entry. Conceived as a fundraiser, the contest was a failure.
