HistERIE: USA 250 Great America Trivia Challenge with Jefferson Educational Society In-Person
Do you love trivia? Do you like watching fast-paced, high-stakes question-and-answer games? Have someone you know participating as a contest and want to root them on?
Help Jefferson Educational Society commemorate the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence with a challenging and fun series of trivia games befitting of the occasion!
The Jefferson Educational Society Team and four Erie, Pennsylvania-based enthusiasts and historians – Mark Becker, George Deutsch, Randy Shapira, and Rick Tome – are hosting nine trivia masters who'll compete in three preliminary three-contestant games. The three winners will advance to the Championship Game to determine the ultimate trivia winner!
Attendees are a part of the "live audience," and can register to attend the "games" – rooting for their players and learning plenty of trivia along the way, as all four games are free and open to the public with advanced registration.
Only those who have registered for, completed, and earned top scores may play in the USA 250 Great America Trivia Challenge. Register at: https://www.jeserie.org/events/details/the-usa-250-great-america-trivia-challenge-game-2
