Legacy Projects and BRANDON HISTORY QUIZ !!!
4/18/2007 at 12:04 PM
Under legacy projects there are only two items Winter Lights Display and the Commemorative Trail. It would be nice to see a new book or history website done for the anniversary. Give Daly House, or the city or SOMEONE $20k to get some history on the web.
Doing the research for this Brandon History Quiz (soon to be released !!) has just about killed me. I would have had an easier time if I decided to research some Swahili village or some super classified US military base.
Using the internet and the Winnipeg Library the quiz is up to about 45 questions now and the answers section is about ten pages. Not EXACTLY sure how I am going to work getting the answers to people but I wanted to avoid the one work answer thing. I'm trying to use quotes, photos, newspaper articles wherever possible to make it interesting. I have also been saving the sources of my information so that people can likn to a page or site to read more details. (or if they want to claim that I got something wrong !!)
It's going to have to be divided into a couple of sections given it's length and a visit to Brandon sources is likely if people like parts one and two.
If anyone has any good sources that I should schekc out - let me know.
If I don't end up working this weekend my plans are to get the first part of it up and running !!!
