The JGT Quizzo Spectacular, Vol. 7

A Star Spangled Quiz

My favorite week of the year is almost here! Every year we head down to the Eastern Shore of Virginia on 4th of July Week to get out on the boat, hang out with cousins, and eat as many doughnuts from the Corner Bakery as we can possibly handle.

But first! One last chance to see me rock ‘n’ roll today before I skip town…I’ll be at The Oval today at 5 PM.

Here’s your scoresheet. Link to the answers is at the bottom. And lots of fun facts on the scoresheet for paid subscribers. Good luck!
