More trivia night from excited Friends

The Friends of the Coronado Center Library is holding a Trivia Night fundraiser on Saturday, July 17 in the Coronado Center Auditorium, from 6-9:00 pm. The cost is $10 per person. All proceeds will go fund library projects.
Trivia night is a cool, fun, and inexpensive way to spend a summer Saturday night. You will probably already have sweated on the golf course, the tennis courts, the lakes or trails, so why not come in out of the heat and humidity and test your mental ability rather than your athletic or physical ability? We promise it will be less taxing on your body.
Test your knowledge of useless information stored in your back brain that has been acquired from endless hours of being a couch potato, watching television, attending movies, or following untold hours of sporting events.
Teams for the event will consist of eight members, you may play with fewer but not more. The best makeup of teams? People with varied interests, ages, and backgrounds. Remember, you don’t have to know all the answers, there are other people on the team. If you can’t find enough friends to make up a full team of eight, don’t let that stop you from participating. Come to the event and we will do our best to complete teams. You may also come as an individual and we will do our best to find a team for you. The format of the contest is made up of 10 rounds of 10 questions each. Between rounds you may wish to look at the silent auction offerings. Also there will be a couple of other $1.00 per person activities.
There will be a cash bar and people may bring their own non-alcoholic drinks and snacks. Free iced tea, water, and popcorn will be provided. A Silent Auction will be held during the event. A few other voluntary participation events will be held during the evening. Bring a couple of extra dollars for a chance to win special prizes.
Don’t bother to study for trivia night. being a member of MENSA is not necessarily an advantage. You will be amazed at how much you know simply by absorption from all those hours in front of the television, going to silly movies and following sports beyond reason. Yes, most of it is probably useless, but for one brief moment you will shine in the eyes of your team members because you knew that Sylvester Stallone and Kurt Russell once starred in a dreck of a movie called Tango and Cash.
Another fun part of trivia night, you can have your own competition between neighbors, golf groups, Sunday school classes, etc. Win the braggin’ rights for your team! And have a great time.
