We had another great night of "Facebook Live Trivia Night" on Thursday night, with the high number of 35 people coming in for their Trivia fix! The high score of the night was 46 points by Jen Kilburn (congrats on your first win!). Three other teams rolled up 45 points: Jaknan (my sister Nancy and my brother-in-law Jack), I Wish This Microphone Was a Penis (Gillian and Joe rolling out that infamous team name again) and Francine Hamilton as well. Thanks to all of you for your great feedback on the night, as it is always a blast to host.
Due to popular demand, I am going to expand the night to five categories next week, as we will do two Special Categories along with the Q Train Lightning Round. I will post all of them on the Facebook Group Page next Wednesday.
