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.
Dates are filling up fast, so call now to
