Trivia Night No Trivial Event

Our 3rd Annual Trivia Night was a howling success. Eighty people gathered at Eastmont to test their wits, have a ball and enjoy rubbing elbows with some of the smartest people on the planet! Rick Wild, decked out in his finest, emceed as our Trivia Guru. Kristie Wild and Kris Soderquist kept score and the rest of us strained our brains as we answered such questions as:

QUESTIONS
1. What are Shaggy Mane, Slimy Gomphidus, Inky Cap, Sulphur Top and Pig's Ear?
2. What is Donald Duck's middle name?
3. Which Shakespeare character has the most lines with 1422?
4. What are you studying if you are into Oology?
5. What was the rat's name in Charlotte's Web?
6. Name all the castaways on Gilligan's Island.

These were real head scratchers, so thank goodness we had teams of 8!

ANSWERS

1. Mushrooms
2. Fauntleroy
3. Hamlet
4. Bird Eggs
5. Templeton
6. The Skipper, Gilligan, The Professor, MaryAnn, Ginger, J. Thurston Howell III and his wife Lovey Howell
Prizes were awarded, but most importantly we collected can after can of non-perishable goodies for our food pantry.

Doug and Krista Baker, Challey Becker, John & Shellie Boehm and Matt and Don Iler Jr. took top honors with last year's champs (Charons, Pierces, Willems, Hostetlers) hot on their heels. Third place went to Trish and Brad Hanson, Stan and Marilyn Rowland, Craig, Ryan and Alex Soderquist and Kyle Willems. Congratulations all!
