Today’s Mystery Monday questions focused on U.S. capital city names and their meanings.

We asked: what state’s capital city name means ‘sheltered harbor’? (Honolulu, Hawaii) and what state’s capital city name means ‘old field’ or ‘old city’? (Tallahassee, Florida)

Congratulations to William and Madison, a father-daughter team from Fredericktown, who made the correct guesses and win a $5 gift certificate to Troyer’s of Apple Valley and the Pier House Coffee Shop.

We also shared information and links to the 2016 Utica Sertoma Old Fashioned Ice Cream Festival, which begins on Saturday.  Here’s a link to the website, with the schedule, too.

We’re also posting information about NEXT Monday’s Memorial Day Parade in Mount Vernon: It begins at 10:30 a.m. on Monday, May 30, traveling west from East High Street (at George St.) to the Square, circle the Square then exit the Square by South Main to Vine. The program on the Public Square will be after the parade. Co-grand marshals are Robert Carpenter and Lloyd Carpenter. The theme for the event is “Home of the Free Because of the Brave.”

Today’s Word of the Day is JIMJAMS, which is English slang for ‘extreme nervousness or the jitters.’

Thanks for listening!
