Ted Poston wrote the fictionalized accounts of his childhood growing up in segregated Hopkinsville as a personal project during his newspaper career. They were first published as a collection a decade after his death.
A Hopkinsville trivia contest, sponsored by Hoptown Chronicle, will occur during breaks in the Beards of the Brewery competition. Several prizes donated by local businesses and organizations will be awarded. The trivia questions are about local history and downtown.
