Contest #75, Missouri History

Time is up!!!

Well folks, its been fun. You all did great! I think I under-estimated how much knowledge can be quickly attained by smart people with high speed internet. tehee. Well done. No one missed more than 2 or 3. I think everyone got #10, Mexico, Mo, which is my home town. I didn't think anyone would get that. The most commonly missed questions were both of the ones involving bridges. I have to say, I was most impressed by ozland tiger, who responded so quickly, I don't think he had time to do much research, and he only missed two. Anyway, enough rambling from me. Here are the answers:

1. show-me-state (there were some other acceptable ones)
2. Fulton, MO
3. 1946
4. St. Joseph, MO
5. Sept. 23
6. 1821
7. 4
8. Centralia, MO
9. Glasgow, MO
10. Mexico, MO (home!)
11. Matt Blunt (Didn't vote for that guy!)
12. New Madrid
13. Florida, MO
14. Bluebird
15. Hawthorn
16. Omar Bradley
17. Dogwood
18. Missouri Waltz
19. 1982
20. Whiteman A.F.B.
21. Harry S. Truman

I came up with some EXTRA hard questions to use as a tie-breaker, but I think you guys have done enough research. So I think I'll pull a name out of a hat when I get off work tommorrow. The winner will probably be announced by 6:00 PM CST tommorrow. Thanks.

Woohoo! That was actually a lot of fun... I had to search a bit for a couple of the answers! If I get my name drawn, I'd look for a contest from me coming shortly! Maybe even if not!

Thanks again, Adam!
