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 will go home with the traveling “Totten Trophy.” There is also an award for the best “cheer” section of the audience.
The evening begins with a silent auction at 6:00 p.m., with items donated by local businesses, and the Trivia Bee competition starts promptly at 7:00 p.m. This year there will be a cash bar with beer and wine, as well as cookies, coffee and slices of Rudy’s pizza available for donation. Miss Whatcom County will be there selling raffle tickets.
All proceeds go to support the Whatcom Literacy Council’s free literacy programs for adults here in 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, $5 for children under 12 and will be available at Village Books or at the door.
Major sponsors of the 2018 Trivia Bee include BP Cherry Point Refinery, Kaiser Permanente, Mt Baker Roofing and WECU. Media sponsors include The Bellingham Herald and KAFE radio.
