May 6, 2010 - Trivia buffs from all corners of Bakersfield will converge at CSU Bakersfield's Icardo Center on Saturday, June 5 for the fifth annual "Brains of Bakersfield" contest.  

Based on the popular trivia game "Quiz Night" that originated in British pubs, "Brains of Bakersfield" features teams of up to 10 quizzers who gather around tables answering tough questions in a timed and fast-paced setting. Questions cover a variety of topics like sports, entertainment, science and more.

In honor of its pub roots, the event gets started with a cocktail hour at 6:30 p.m., with questions starting at 7 p.m. Dinner will be provided during halftime courtesy of Frugatti's Italian Eatery.

The entry fee for Brains of Bakersfield is $300 per team. Winning team members will be presented with a trophy proclaiming them as the "Brainy Bunch."
