Shannon's Trivia: Make your Mark by Knowing this market

Shannon's Trivia: Make your Mark by Knowing this market

By Tom Peterson with photos and background from John Foley

The Dalles, Ore., Aug. 30, 2024 — We’re going shopping for markets again this week Puzzlers. But you better put on your history hats as this gem comes from 1918.

The saving grace however, is that this establishment made it into the late 70s under the same name before it was sold to a local fishing legend that was one of the first to split the rapids of the Deschutes in a jet boat.

Here’s another saving grace - you’re getting a whole extra day to pull together your shopping cart of answers.

So, tell us what was the name of the market above. Send your answers to tom@cccnews.com by Monday at 6:32 p.m. when the dread of work resumes.

And for the big fish award, tell us the name of the maverick of the Deschutes who eventually purchased it.

All those submitting correct responses will be entered into a raffle for a $25 gift certificate to Shannon’s Ice Cream. The winner will be announced on Tuesday, Sept. 3., after the kids return to school.

Shannon’s awaits you, Puzzler. Shannon’s Ice Cream 318 E. Fourth Street, scooping the dream daily from noon to 9 p.m. It’s across the street from the Civic Auditorium. Look for the boneshaker out front.

Shannon’s - Boneshakers and ice cream makers - nondairy and sugar-free options and don’t forget that crepe with two scoops.
