LHS to host history game show
Put your knowledge of local history to the test.
The Lackawanna Historical Society hosts its live game show "You Live Here; You Should Know This" on Sunday, Sept. 24, at Ritz Theater and Performing Arts Center, 222 Wyoming Ave., Scranton. The program starts at 4 p.m.
Students from Valley View and Riverside high schools created the game show. Players will answer fast-paced Jeopardy-style questions about people, places and events in Lackawanna County, with special categories posed by local celebrity hosts. Winners will receive bragging rights for one year as "Local History Legends of Lore."
Last year's winners Owen Worozbyt, director of operations for Lackawanna Heritage Valley, and Gerard Hetman, community development specialist at NeighborWorks, will return to defend their title. The program will be recorded and posted to YouTube.
Tickets can be purchased at the door only. Admission costs $10 for adults and $5 for students. For more information, call 570-344-3841 or email lackawannahistory@gmail.com.
