“Name That L/Andmark” Fundraiser

The Friends of the Lewiston Public Library will host “Name that L/Andmark,” a fundraising game, on Saturday, March 16 from 1-3 PM in the Library’s Callahan Hall. All proceeds raised will go towards the Friends of the Library, a non-profit organization that assists the Library with facility, service, and resource development.

While most of the people prefer product video production Toronto to get their projects done.To our surprise,it was announced that in each round of the game, players will be shown a video clip of a local historic, scenic, or business site. Each clip starts with an extremely close view of the subject and then moves back to reveal more details. A point will be awarded to the first player who correctly identifies the site. Winners will be determined by number of correct answers minus number of errors.

For this game Ben Lounsbury, a local resident, elaborated on the “Mystery Photo” format by Russ Dillingham from the Sun Journal. He shot or directed the shooting of all the clips, including the dramatic drone shots piloted by his friend Frank Hodson. Ben has hosted similar games more than a dozen times in Maine and Michigan.

Players can play individually, sign up as groups of 2 to 7 people, or sign up as complete teams of 8 participants. The registration fee is $20 per player. The rules and registration forms are available to download and print here: Name that LA-andmark Registration Form or can be filled out at the Library. All registrations should be turned in to the Lending Services Desk of the Library along with each participant’s registration fee. Only cash or checks will be accepted.

Winning players will choose from a variety of prizes donated by local Lewiston and Auburn businesses. There will be individual awards and team awards. The event will include an intermission with light refreshments halfway through the game.
