Hello, friends. And welcome to Day 20! (Yes, there’s my one Jim Nantz-esque greeting for our time together. (-:)
As we now have less than three weeks remaining, I think it’s about time for a quiz. You guys up for it?
OK, here’s the deal…
If you’ve been on board with these before, it’s similar to our past ones. (If you’re a newbie, though, it’s all good, I’ll post the correct answers later in the countdown.)
I alluded to nicknames for U.S. States in a previous thread. At the time, I mentioned that we weren’t going to look at all of them, but 20 seems like a good round number.
So, take a look below and match up the U.S. State with the correct nickname.
Note: Some U.S. States have multiple nicknames, so feel free to add any additional ones for extra credit!
| U.S. STATE | *NICKNAME
