This fun, community-building event lets you see what is considered basic knowledge and where you stand.  Every team will participate in the first three rounds, where questions will be answered on paper in a “trivia-night” format.  The highest scoring teams will move on to a friendly competition at the end.  Entry is free, and the event is open to all.  Prizes will be offered to all teams who compete.

Social studies teachers from AB Regional High School are working with LWV-AA to develop questions, and will encourage several teams of high school students to compete as well.  Applications and suggested resource materials are posted on our website www.lwv-aa.org.
