This year's Great Humboldt Trivia Challenge features Trixie the Trivia Vixen and YOUR audience participation.
Each Spring, Humboldt Literacy Project gives you a chance at sweet, sweet glory and being the envy of your know-it-all peers!
Our premier battle of wits is the most fun you can have combatting a serious problem, illiteracy! And it's a Humboldt County tradition.
Did we mention dinner is included? And a no-host bar.
Teams that do not know it all can submit their funny-but-incorrect answers to the Humor Judge for special humor prizes. And spectators can bid a dollar if they think they know the answers.
And all funds raised directly support our programs in Adult Literacy, Family Literacy, and ESL. Leave your smart phone at home and create your own team. Stay tuned for updates, and we'll see you there!
