| Trivia O (City Search) in Congress Park, Saratoga Springs, NY
| EMPO is organizing a City Search Trivia O fun event in Saratoga Springs.
If you are in the area and up for something to do Thursday evening Oct
14, join the intrepid folks at Congress Park in Saratoga at 4 pm. You
will have 90 minutes to complete the 7 km course and answer the trivia
questions.
Maps are $5 and can be selected as an option as you register for the
Champs (see link below). If you've already registered and would like to add the Trivia
O, contact the registrar. You can show up at the park to purchase a map if you
don't pre-register. More details later about exact meeting location.
You can also purchase a map and use it in your free time to learn
more about Saratoga if Thursday evening doesn't fit in your travel
plans.
We might even have prizes!
