Friday trivia
The first trivia question of the new year (and decade) comes from Rep. Brady Brammer.
“Name the person that was a deputy marshal of Great Salt Lake City and also owned and operated the Hot Springs Hotel and Brewery located at what is now known as the Point of the Mountain.”
Send your guesses to me via email at [email protected]. The third person with the correct answer gets the honor of asking next week’s question.
Good luck!
