Participants from every city worked together: as teams,
several families, neighbors, mayors and council members,
school children, lawyers and of many vocations in assorted
combinations. They studied prepared pamphlets, Q & A
on the Causes for Conflict, Prevailing Circumstances, War
and the Declaration of Independence; the Constitutional
Convention; the Constitution; the Ratification and The Bill
of Rights. Over 800 people participated in the events. When
the Bicentennial celebration ended, a final Bowl demonstration
was held in the county-sponsored culmination of the Davis
County Commission Celebration, AT VALLEY MUSIC HALL, highly
lauded and appreciated. Much thanks is due participants.
Lawyers, Rotary and Lion's Club representatives on the
Bowl requested the Constitution Quiz Bowl be put in the
schools of Utah. So it was, with awards and certificates,
the Constitution Quiz Bowl was introduced to the schools
of Utah.
Subsequent to the Davis celebration the pamphlets were
included in a manual called American Constitution Made Easy.
A banner American Constitution STARS and accompanying Logo
was included in the Preface of that booklet, 1990, and the
whole used activities for Constitution Bowls in Utah, to
the present date. The business name is now ACME Learning
Products.
The Valley Forge Freedoms Foundation invited the Utah Chapter
to demonstrate a Constitution Bowl at Valley Forge, in 1990.
This was done. The Freedoms Foundation of Valley Forge gave
to Reva Wadsworth, Founder of the American Constitution
STARS, the George Washington Honor Medal for Excellence,
in 1996.
The first school bowl competition was held in Davis County,
1991, and the occasion celebrated the heroes of Desert Storm.
Bowls have been held every year since 1991, schools participating
in the north, the central and the south end of the state
of Utah.
We welcome you to the American Constitution Stars Quiz
Bowl under the auspices of Reva Wadsworth. Join with your

of Independence and the Constitution of the United States
of America, on April 27, in Orem, Utah, on April 29, in
