Which United States President first spoke of a government of the people, by the people, for the people?

The capital of the U.S. is Washington, D.C. What does “D.C.” stand for?

What do we call the boundary line that once separated slave states from non-slave states?

If you can answer these questions and are between the ages of 2 and 12, come to Sherman’s Books and Stationery Store in Boothbay Harbor on Sunday, July 7 from 1 to 3 p.m. to participate in BrainQuest’s All-American Challenge.

Participants can answer questions both individually and as members of a team. There is a time limit of 10 seconds to answer a question, and participants will be asked questions appropriate to their grade level. All participating kids get an official certificate, and winners receive a special surprise prize.

There will be BrainQuest giveaways throughout the event.

Participants do not need to sign up ahead of time, simply show up at Sherman’s Book and Stationary Store (5 Commercial Street in Boothbay Harbor). It’s best if participants show up around 1 p.m. This is a free event.

And, in case you were curious, the answers are the Abraham Lincoln (in his Gettysburg Address of 1863), D.C. stands for District of Columbia, and the divisional line is known as the Mason-Dixon Line.
