Whatcom Literacy Council’s 29th Annual Trivia Bee @ Aslan Depot
Apr 30 @ 6:00 pm – 8:30 pm
Whatcom Literacy Council's 29th Annual Trivia Bee @ Aslan Depot

Join the Whatcom Literacy Council for our 29th annual TRIVIA BEE fundraiser on Wednesday, April 30th from 6:30 pm to 8pm.

Ryan Budds of TRIVIA WITH BUDDS will team up with Scotty VanDryver of KAFE Radio to provide a fast paced and interactive platform for an online trivia night akin to Jeopardy! Register your team (3 people) on our webpage for $75 or just watch for free. Teams compete in four rounds on a variety of topics; this year one of the rounds will be all LOCAL (Whatcom County) trivia!! Winners going home with the traveling “Totten Trophy” and all proceeds go to support the wonderful free adult literacy programs offered by the
Whatcom Literacy Council. Because it is a virtual ZOOM event participants can play from anywhere, with answers submitted via cell phone.

For local residents who would like to meet in person Aslan Depot (1322 N State, Bellingham, WA) will be showing the event on a big screen, and supporting the Whatcom Literacy Council by donating $1 for every pint purchased. It is recommended that you arrive around 6pm to find a table and order drinks and food before the game begins at 6:30pm.
