Happy Harbor – Let's Do Trivia - 21 December 2023 – BLURB

Greetings all and by the time you are reading this, I hope you had a very Merry Christmas!  We had a wonderful turnout this week and I am pleased to see new faces as well as some familiar faces from the past. 

Staking a claim to the top prize early, Brookes jumped out to a first half lead over our two other regular teams, Breakfast Club and Dumb Luck.  Perhaps fittingly, they were tied for second place and only one point off the lead. 

Scoring in the second half was tight, with our top teams all remaining within a small number of points with each other, but it was Breakfast Club that made the most of the opportunities in the second half.  They went into the final question with a two-point lead over Brookes while Dumb Luck fell a bit further back, five points off the lead.  Quietly stalking the leaders, Himelations held on to fourth place, seven points off the lead.

The final question dealt with number one singles by pop artist Madonna and several of our teams were up to the challenge.  Betting strategy was key however and it cost one of our teams a second place finish.  Himelations was aggressive however and took the full 20 points, moving up into second place, while Breakfast Club also took a big swing at the final and nailed it, assuring them of a first-place finish.  Well played all and congrats to Breakfast Club.

Happy Harbor – Let’s Do Trivia! – 04/27/23 – Blurb

Welcome to the weekly recap!  Let's Do Trivia at Happy Harbor is the place to be on Thursday night.  There is always food, spirits, and fun to be had.  Let's recap how it all happened. Our cozy gathering had four teams.  Brookes took an early lead with 41 Points.  Breakfast Club's 40 points earned them second place.  The Crazy Crawfords amassed 35 points and were sole owners of third place.  The Leitchers were in fourth place with a respectable 33 points.  The second half progressed much like the first.  Regulation play ended with Brookes maintaining their lead and all teams in contention for the grand prize.     The final category asked about SNL appearances.  For the second week in a row, the Leitchers found the correct answers and submitted a 20-point wager.  Brookes had the correct order but did not wager.  Congratulations to the Leitchers on their victory.  Both teams won Happy Harbor gift cards. Thanks to all teams for your continued support....
