Continuing the Tradition of Being Behind!

Again this time post two days of trivia questions from the Morning Challenge

Monday May 5th

A New Survey by TiVo has found that 58 percent of respondents chose this character as the top TV Mom.  Who did they chose?

Charlotte Hays of Braymer guessed right!

Now todays question:

The designer of this famous landmark originally wanted to build it in Barcelona, Spain but the proposal was rejected.  What was the landmark? 

I thought this one would be tough since we didn't give "a place" of where it was built.
But No!  Charles Marsh of Marshall was the very first caller and took a wild guess!  Good Job Charles.

THE ANSWERS
It has been a long day!  But it's not over yet.  The KMZU ACADEMIC AWARDS BANQUET  is tonight.

We close out on a sad note today.
Janet Adkisons father passed away this morning.  Please keep her and her family in your prayers over the next couple of days.
