Whatcom Literacy Council will be hosting the 24th Annual Trivia Bee & Silent Auction 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. on Friday, May 1, 2020 at Bellingham Technical College’s Settlemyer Hall.
Join co-hosts Scotty VanDryver of KAFE Radio and Jeopardy! star Ken Jennings and match wits with other members of the community. Thirty-two teams, sponsored by local businesses, will compete against each other in four qualifying rounds leading up to the final round with eight teams. The winner goes home with the traveling “Totten Trophy.” There is an award for the best CHEER section of the audience.
The evening begins with a silent auction at 6 p.m., with items donated by local businesses, and the Trivia Bee competition starts promptly at 7 p.m. This year there will be a cash bar with beer and wine, as well as cookies, coffee and slices of pizza available for donation.
All proceeds go to support the Whatcom Literacy Council’s free literacy programs for adults here in Bellingham and Whatcom County.
Teams of three may register by emailing events@whatcomliteracy.org ($750 for a Corporate Team, $375 for a Self-Sponsored team.) CHEER tickets cost $15 per person, and will be available at Village Books, or at the door.
