Young Readers’ Room

May Riddle Contest: There is a road in Redlands, named after this man. He was a pioneer and a doctor but also a state assemblyman. When Brigham Young of Utah recalled the Mormons in 1857 He bought 1500 acres and found his own slice of heaven. With a wife and five children, 1,500 orange trees and 1,200 peaches, He enjoyed ranching and farming and raising of sheepies, Which grazed on land where Kingsbury elementary stands. He loved his vineyard with 70,000 grapes making wine by hand, Which he sold to the family that founded Brookside Winery. He was a man of many talents, Physician, Postmaster, and Assemblyman. In the end he sold his holdings to Judson and Brown, to become Redlands, which we all know and love as our town. To enter: Figure it out and send your answer to burragemansion@gmail.com or take it to the Young Readers’ Room at A.K. Smiley Public Library. Deadline: Please include your age and phone number. Answers must be submitted by Friday May 30th. Winners must be ages 6 to 13. Winners will be notified the following week. The prize: Six tickets behind home plate, and two VIP parking passes to see the game on Saturday, June 7 against the Seattle Mariners.
