In 1929, after three years of economic hardship and hurricanes, Florida’s citrus industry took a hit from what pest? Who was the first explorer to reach Florida?

If you have an interest in the history of the Sunshine State — and it really is some pretty juicy stuff — head to the Historical Museum of Southern Florida at 2:00 p.m. for the third annual South Florida History Challenge, hosted by ubiquitous Miami Dade College professor Paul George. It’s free. Call 305 375 1621. (Answers: Mediterranean fruit fly, Juan Ponce de León [in 1513], and 1971)
Sat., Jan. 28, 2 p.m.
