Trivia 2013 wrap up…

Trivia is over and the “party headquarters” are cleaned up. I am sure everyone is tired. But the trivia question of the hour is “did you have a good time?” Bob and I can say that YES this was the best year ever. Although I always say that, every year that passes is truly the best, and better and better than the year before.

We have to say a BIG thank you to everyone. None of Trivia would not be possible with out ALL of you. We have great family and friends to enjoy the weekend with. Without each of you enjoying the questions, answers, food, beverage, jokes, NO sleep, and lots and lots of coffee, trivia would be nothing. A sincere and gracious thank you to everyone.

This year our trivia headquarters consisted of seven computers, six researching computers and one designated for recording the questions for reference. And even with all these computers the WI-FI worked great without any computer crashes or slowing down the system.

As usual there was way too much food, not that we’re complaining of course. Food and drink is what keeps up going. We had the usual Papa Murphy pizza on Friday; Mary M’s famous burritos, and my pulled pork and cole slaw on Saturday; Lisa made breakfast casserole for Sunday. But that is not all. That is only the beginning. We had cheese fries, cheese curds, sausage, chips, dips, relishes, snacks, etc. Emily brought the famous pretzel dip. And then there were the desserts, millionaire bars from Mary, crescent roll cheese cake and pistachio cake.

Anna was in charge of scheduling any “allowed sleep time” and “shifts for answering the phones”. And believe me she is great at this job.

This was the first year for Andrew and Doug and they did a great job. Throughout the weekend we had people pull all-nighters, Doug, Lisa, Anna, and Sarah. Bob and I went to bed early but got up early for the wee morning hours, 3a.m. Gee wish you were here…

Logan and Dave did the running questions on both Saturday and Sunday. Thank you to you too. Next year we would really like for Tom to do the music questions since that is his forte.

We closed the Stempski trivia headquarters at 6p.m. on Sunday night and then moved the head quarters over the to the Marks’ house where Ava took over answering the questions.

Again thank you to each and every one of you. You ALL made trivia a huge success.

Below are our scores for this year and a few past years. Maybe next year you can join us, in body or spirit.
