Note: I should mention that I have received very few entries so far. I usually get a bunch right away and the rest of them near the end. If I don’t have a lot of entries, I will assume everybody is tired of these quizzes and I will not go to all the work to offer them any longer. Just an FYI.
The winner is Sara M. Random.org chose her out of eight qualifying entries. Only one entry got 100% of the questions right (Kinsey R.). The rest got 100% because although they missed one, they answered the bonus question right (good thing I have that bonus question, eh?) Here are the qualifying entries in the order I received them (and used Random.org). Scroll down to see which answers the rest of you missed.
- Anna I.
- Kyra J.
- Micaiah C.
- Sara M.
- Natalie L.
- Jalaena E.
- Kinsey R.
- Kate D.

Hi, Mrs. M
On your old blog you interviewed a young woman about a magazine she works with or started. Her name was Grace C and she wrote the Battle of the Bull story that placed in your annual contest one year. What is the name of the magazine, I have forgotten and can not find it.
Thank you

Haven’t thought about it. I’m too busy trying to keep goats and horses dry and warm. If you are used to snow, that’s one thing….

No one is prepared (well, we are with generators and horse blankets cuz we are all from WA), but a little farther up it’s the worst disaster ever!
