What’s that you say — a pub quiz for Ottawa history buffs?
No tedious questions about brat-pack movies of the 1980s or tortuous references to Kurt Cobain lyrics? And did someone say “pub”? Sign us up!
From our friends at the Bytown Museum:
Sunday October 16: Pub Quiz, Bytown Museum Style!
Who was Bytown named after? Which local school did that famous Friend attend?
That’s right; we want to test your Bytown and Ottawa knowledge.
Bring your team to DArcy McGees on Sparks Street on October 16 at 2 pm and our professional quizmaster Paul from the Ottawa Trivia League will test your knowledge of Ottawa’s history and heritage. The winning team takes away passes to the museum (handy to prepare for upcoming quizzes) and fashionable Bytown Museum travel mugs. One lucky member of the winning team will receive a Family Membership to the museum.
If you have never been to a pub quiz before, the format is simple. Bring along a group of 4 or 5, find a table and the quizmaster will hand out a sheet with helpful clues. Once the quiz starts, use this sheet to record your answers. At the end, we will tally them all up and find out which team won.
Join us for an afternoon of heritage, history, a little healthy competition and, of course, a lot of fun.
