17th annual Trivia Bee
Wednesday, November 14
Cary Hall
You won’t want to miss this fun and exciting town-wide tradition. Over forty teams sponsored by local businesses, organizations and invidviduals test their trivia know-how in this friendly battle of wits. Many local civic organizations and all nine Lexington Schools will be represented. Many Lexington friends provide the supporting cast, including our colonially-outfitted Master of Ceremonies, Jeff Leonard, and our Queen Bee, Thelma Goldberg. Be prepared for some questions relating to Lexington’s Colonial period in celebration of the 300th! Admission is free and fun for the entire family.
If you would like to participate from the sidelines, consider sponsoring a team from one of the nine public schools, a town employee, or general sponsorship of the event. Team sponsorship is a tax-deductible fee of $375; through your sponsorship you will “bee” investing in our schools.
