LIVE Thread:Trump in Hagerstown, MD 4/24/2016 Rider Jet Center @ 4pm EDT

Hagerstown /ˈheɪɡərztaʊn/ is a city in Washington County, Maryland. It is the county seat of Washington County, and by many definitions, the largest city in a region known as Western Maryland. The population of Hagerstown city proper at the 2010 census was 39,662, and the population of the Hagerstown-Martinsburg Metropolitan Area (extending into West Virginia) was 269,140.

In 1739, Jonathan Hager, a German immigrant from Pennsylvania and a volunteer Captain of Scouts, purchased 200 acres (81 ha) of land in the Great Appalachian Valley between the Blue Ridge and Allegheny Mountains in Maryland and called it Hager’s Fancy. In 1762, Hager officially founded the town of Elizabethtown which he named after his wife, Elizabeth Kershner. Fourteen years later, Jonathan Hager became known as the "Father of Washington County" after his efforts helped Hagerstown become the county seat of newly created Washington County which Hager also helped create from neighboring Frederick County, Maryland. The City Council changed the community's name to Hager's-Town in 1813 because the name had gained popular usage, and in the following year, the Maryland State Legislature officially endorsed the changing of the town’s name.

I give up trying to fool you people. I put these quizzes together and people like exit82 (btw is that the exit where you live), has it done two minutes after it’s posted.

So, I’m posting it early this time. Please try answering the trivia the first time through without looking up the answers. After that, it’s an open book quiz.

BTW exit82 our trivia buff, broke the rules, but he was so far ahead everyone else yesterday that I awarded him the $25 Amazon Gift Card, which he promptly donated to Free Republic.

1. 4 part question. Name Hagerstown’s minor league baseball team, their level of play, (eg Class A, AA or AAA), their major league team affiliation and their only Hall of Famer. 10pts

6. This is the Bellanca Cruisemaster, built in the 1920s at the Bellanca Airplane factory in Hagerstown, MD. What historical significance did it have? 50pts.

a. Named after The Alsatia Club formed 1911 by 11 young men who would hang out at the local pharmacy, and take up the seats of paying customers. The owner gave them a place to meet on the second floor.
