Historical May 1993 article. Dates, prices, services and contacts describe the source period; current availability has not been established.

On April 17 friends and staffers of the Times gathered to do trivial battle in the first Times Trivia Contest.

It was a great and boisterous time which the pictures captured by King Schoenfeld show.

In addition to those who came to play, we owe our thanks to those who organized and worked on this event to make it a success.

The team without whom it wouldn’t have happened were Dan McGuire, Lois Schoemehl, Kathleen Williams, Lana Stein, JoAnn Vatcha, King and Dee Schoenfeld, Katie Kurtz, Marcia Kerz, Rose Storey, Elenore McGuire, Maxine Emde, Nancy Farmer, and Mad and Brad Weir. Our deep appreciation also goes to those who donated prizes for the contest: Lu Green, The New Theatre, The Fox Theatre, Joe Edwards of Blueberry Hill, John Sappington of West End Wines/The Caradonnas of Signature Beers.

We were provided excellent facilities by New City School, a most desirable place to hold this event.

The top four tables carried home a real variety of prizes, not to mention the enmity of the other tables. No outright hostilities broke out, so we hope to be able to provide another opportunity for skill-testing (revenge) in the relatively near future.
