True Tacoman: Score free food just for knowing Olympics trivia

By Volcano Staff on December 13, 2011

DO YOU KNOW YOUR TACOMA HISTORY ... AND LOVE FOOD? >>

Foodcaching is a new smart phone app alerting customers of awesome food deals at 16 restaurants in the greater Tacoma area. You may download the app for free on your iPhone and Android here.

The Weekly Volcano has teamed up with Foodcaching for the True Tacoman game. Every Tuesday and Friday right here on Spew, we post a Tacoma history trivia provided by the Washington State History Museum. If you know the answer, run to one of the 15 participating restaurants, come clean with answer and you'll receive points on your Foodcaching app, which you downloaded free here. We'll be running the True Tacoman trivia game through the end of the year.

The person will the most points on Dec. 31 will be crowned the True Tacoman and be flooded with various food prizes.

Friday's True Tacoman trivia answer

Friday we asked what was the claim to fame of the Tacoma Golf Club, which was formed in 1894. You spent the last four days telling the restaurants listed below the answer – Tacoma Golf Club had the first golf course west of the Mississippi River – and, thereby, you scored points on the Foodcaching app. It was an easy task – a lot easier, than playing the damn game.

Today is Tuesday, which means we post another trivia question as part of the True Tacoman contest.
