What?? Larry isn't a Winterlude mascot?
Idea #2 - Trivia night
When was the first Winterlude held? Who are the official mascots of the festival? And what’s the chorus of the Winterlude song?
Even the most seasoned trivia champs probably don’t know the answers to these questions. And instead of waiting until Winterlude starts to discover the answers, head on down to a trivia night at one of several local pubs to see if these queries arise.
Sundays and Wednesdays, various Royal Oaks hold their weekly trivia quiz nights. The Barley Mow down at Bank and Summerside hosts one Monday night – apparently throngs of young trivia upstarts make their way to this one on a regular basis.
And who knows – if you get good enough, your team could enter World Trivia Night and become true Trivia Champions!
(If you need to know the answers to the questions above right now, do a bit of research on the Winterlude site.)
I just spent a good deal of my travel time this Christmas reading the first of five CBC Radio Canada reads novels – “Fruit” by Brian Francis. The novel is piercingly hilarious, making for several embarrassing real-life LOL moments on the flight. Basically the novel is the universal story of a gay teenage cross-dressing boy named Peter, with body image issues, talking nipples and various awkward obsessions with his gym teachers, neighbors and classmates.
