Attention all trivia buffs: the Ladies Active 20-30 Club of Bakersfield will be hosting Trivia Night Thursday at Fishlips.
Club President Meghan Holland invites all brainiacs to take the challenge and help raise money for local kids.
"It's a fun event we had great success with six months ago, and we encourage the public to participate."
Upon registering your four-member team, you will be assigned a table in the restaurant. The evening's MC will begin asking a series of 25 questions from the Fishlips stage. Two rounds of questioning will be conducted with a break during the evening, to allow some "re-energizing."
"Some of our categories include history, pop culture, alcohol, pretty much anything goes," said Holland. "We'll also allow teams to buy answers if they're having trouble. No one will be left out."
The Ladies Active 20-30 has been "active," since 2006 in Bakersfield and according to Holland, is always looking for new recruits. Through events like these, she hopes to raise awareness about the group's community involvement.
"We're not just a social club. We're open to everybody. You have to love kids and volunteering."
All proceeds from Thursday's event will benefit local children's charity Child Spree, an organization that helps kids with new school clothes and supplies. Holland hopes to surpass the number of children the club helped last year.
"We took 246 children shopping to Kohl's last year, but this time we're aiming for 300."
Tickets for Thursday's event can be pre-purchased at Fishlips for $5, and walk-up registration is available until space runs out.
"We've already sold quite a few tables, so everyone should get their teams together and sign up."
