Good morning everyone! Kicking this one off with Greensboro-flavored Revolutionary War trivia to warm up for July 4th :
Who won the Battle of Guilford Courthouse in 1781?
If you answered wrong and you claim Greensboro as home, may we kindly suggest you attend the annual battle reenactment next year for education purposes?
Enough trivia. Big holiday week ahead as America turns 250! And it’s going to be blazing hot. Heat dome hot!
Scroll time.
