So, here are the details:

3. AND sign on as a Follower. Please do not forget to sign on as a FOLLOWER (right-hand column, halfway down, just below the teeeny tiny picture of me)
4. Quiz ends Monday, July 5th at NOON, Central Time.
5. Winner and his/her fabulous prizes will be announced Tuesday, July 6th, and must e-mail me by Friday, July 9th to claim the fabulous prize.
You must, you must, you must (finish that saying from a tween book of my youth...) complete #1, #2, AND #3 to be properly entered into the contest. Anyone improperly entered will not be entered at all...they will be improperly tossed out upon their....Well, they'll be disqualified.
THE WINNER will be RANDOMLY selected, but must get 100% of the answers correct. That's right--you can Google and study all you want for this quiz... But, it does end, and comments will close MONDAY, July 5th at NOON Central Time!!!
