Mr. Bill’s Traveling Trivia returns to Heppner “ Mi c k e y Mo u s e ' s faithful dog Pluto was originally known by what name?” “Who is the only golfer to win all four Majors at least three times?” The reader who thinks he or she knows the answers to these questions should be thinking about signing up to participate in Mr. Bill's Traveling Trivia Show, which is scheduled to return to Heppner next month. The Heppner Day Care will again sponsor, on Dec. 6 at 7 p.m. at the Elks Club, the fun and entertaining event as a fundraiser for the nonprofit organization. E n t r y f o r m s ar e available at Heppner Day Care or on the table at the post office. Though teams may enter on the evening of the show, early entries are strongly encouraged. A table will be reserved with the team name for every early entry, and early entries will help with starting the show on time and help to prevent delays at the door. The entry fee for each team is $150, which breaks down to just $25 per person on a team of the allowed and suggested six members. Though individual team members often pay their own entry fees, another suggestion is to recruit a sponsor for one’s team. A team can have from one to six members. The members o f the three top-scoring teams at Mr. Bill’s will receive prizes, as well as bragging rights. Every participant will have an equal opportunity to win a door prize at some point in the evening. The day care also will be raffling some baskets with “interesting” contents. The “ 30 Something” team took home the gold last year, followed by “It Is What It Is” with silver, and “BEO Brainiacs” claiming the bronze. L ocal t r i vi a b u ffs are encouraged to start forming teams, as the “30 Somethings” are studying up for the re p e a t...th e contest welcomes all other competitors who think they have a chance to de-throne them. Mr. B ill’s questions run the gamut o f topics, and sample questions and answers can be found on his website, http://www. mrbillstrivia.com.
