The Whiteside Forum will host Quiz Master Adam Smith and a 50-question Trivia Contest on the U. S. Constitution, on Thursday, October 23, 2014. Everyone is welcome to bring their skill and knowledge to the event, which focuses on how the U. S. Government was designed to work.

Join us in the Program Room of the Odell Public Library starting at 6:30 p.m. The library is located at 307 S. Madison Street, Morrison, IL. Bring a friend and have fun! The pressure is off, because the winner(s) will have to lead the non-winners in a brief discussion period.
This event will be a great lead-in to the rest of our Forum season. It will focus on issues dealing with our First Amendment rights and the needs of a functioning democracy.
