Schwan's
Sublette County
History Contest
Be
the first to answer the weekly history question correctly and
win
a delicious meal from
Schwan's!
Thank
you to everyone who participated in the History Contest!
Here
are the last two questions of the contest:
1.
"What
is the oldest geographic feature place name in Sublette County
still in use today?" Answer: Green River
2.
"What
was the first constructed road in the Upper Green
River Valley?" Answer:
Lander Cut-Off Trail
Winner: Lisa Williams, Cora,
Wyoming
correctly answered both questions.
While
there were a number of great submissions for both these questions,
no one else correctly answered either question or provided
an alternate answer that changed what we thought were the
correct answers. We
want to add in the comment that not all of history is known. It's
like working on a 10,000 piece jigsaw puzzle and only having
1500 of the pieces to work with. New information that reveals
more about past history comes along all the time as new information
comes to light. While this contest is over and we have given
answers to these
questions and awarded our prizes,
it is possible at some future time a letter, diary account,
or other information will be found that reveals something
that could change these answers and change history as we
know it today. If you enjoy history too and find new information
that changes
or
challenges
any
of
these answers, we'd love for
you to
share
it with
us. Email comments to support@pinedaleonline.com.
History is everywhwere around us and helps us understand
who we are and why we are the way we are so we can better
understand the path forward into the future. Thanks again
to everyone for participating in this contest. We'll keep
these pages archived to keep the information available.

A
new question will come out each Wednesday
from February 17, 2016 until March 29, 2016. The Grand Prize
question will come out on Wednesday,
March 23, 2016. The
answer and winner of each of the past week’s

Schwan’s
Home Service of Rock Springs is doing this because they wanted
to find a fun way to acquaint
Sublette County, Wyoming residents with their delicious
home-delivery food products. Most people have seen the iconic
yellow Schwan’s delivery truck around Pinedale, but many
have not tried their products. Pinedale
Online and KPIN Radio
are partnering in this contest to help get exposure to an area
business and as a fun new way to get people to learn more about
our
local
area history. The
latest Schwan’s catalogs are available from the Schwan’s
truck drivers, at the Pinedale Online office in the back of the
Office Outlet store in Pinedale, and at KPIN 101.1FM Radio in
the Summit Building in Pinedale. If you’ve never tried
any of the Schwan’s foods, stop by Pinedale Online and
ask Dawn for a sample (limit one per customer,
age
16
or over,
while supplies
last.)
The
questions will be challenging and answers not necessarily easily
attainable without a bit of research, which we hope
participants will enjoy to sleuth the answer. We will provide
some clues to
help with each week’s question.
