Doing anything tonight?
Well, if your answer was “not much” or “trying to remember where I put the the vase for my lilac collection”, you're more than welcome to join me at the Marquette Regional History Center for their annual trivia contest, where I get to do the only two things for which it seems I'm uniquely qualified—ask people questions about history, and then make fun of them when they get them wrong.
If it's anything like previous editions of the contest, it should be a blast.
Because of Covid we haven't done it since 2019, but the previous times we had a packed house, and I'm hoping it'll be the same tonight. The fine staff at the History Center has put together 50 questions, all based on exhibits or newspaper stories or tours (some by yours truly) or videos (all by yours truly) and now everyone who takes part will get the chance to see if they can answer them for fun (& prizes). People who participate are more than welcome to bring their own adult beverages (a factor that made the contest quite amusing the past few years), and I've been promised there will be snacks, as well. So if you're interested, it's a great way to learn a little and raise money for a great organization.
Oh—and to be made fun of if you don't know the answers, too. But in a kind & gentle way. That I promise.

Since I don't have much more to say about it, here's one of those videos on which a question may be based (a history video that's actually timely, needless to say). Details on how it all went tomorrow!
