The Southern Maryland Blue Crabs in conjunction with TheBAYNET.com are giving away three pairs of tickets to see REO Speedwagon at Regency Furniture Stadium on Monday, Aug. 11 at 7 p.m.

“How do I win this amazing prize,” you ask? TheBAYNET.com will be posting three trivia questions over the next few days. The first person to give the correct answer to the trivia question will receive a pair of tickets. The question will be posted Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday at 3:30 p.m., and the winner will be announced as we receive answers.

Today’s Question:

Where did REO Speedwagon have their beginnings?

To answer this question completely and win the tickets, you must tell us where the band was formed AND what kind of music they played.

WE HAVE A WINNER! Congratulations to Ken Mansfield, who successfully answered both parts of the question correctly.

REO Speedwagon was originally formed by students attending the University of Illinois in Champaign, Illinois, in the fall of 1967 to play cover songs in campus bars
