WQPT's Hemingway -Themed Trivia Night
2021-04-09 19:00 - 21:00 | WQPT, Moline, IL
Join WQPT for a special Virtual Trivia Night with a Hemingway Theme!
WQPT-PBS is hosting a virtual Hemingway-themed trivia night on Friday, April 9th beginning at 7:00pm to celebrate the release of Ken Burns’ HEMINGWAY on the PBS Video App (beginning Monday, April 5th).
The multiple-choice questions for this virtual trivia night will cover much more than just Ernest Hemingway, though! Each round will have a theme related to things like Hemingway’s life, times, and literary themes. For example, Hemingway traveled extensively throughout his life, so a round may be themed, “World Travel.”
100% of the event’s $10 registration fee will go towards WQPT’s literacy outreach efforts – such as the First Book Program (which provides free books to more than 1,200 Quad City area children from low-income families).
Numerous prizes will be given away throughout the night, so gather your family and get ready to show off your knowledge!
