Summary

The Beaver Beacon editors planned and, by June 1982, reported printing a visitor-oriented Fudgie issue with common-question answers, an island map, brief history, and local business advertising. It was sold through several island businesses in a small initial quantity.

Evidence limits

The May notice was an advance plan; the June report establishes printing and sales locations but not a complete print run, distribution count, or ledger.
