It's like bar trivia meets Family Feu- actually we can't say the full name for copyright fears, but here's the deal: Quirk Events asked 100 people a bunch of questions, and now your team has to guess the most popular answer to each one. Game runs Tuesdays from 6 PM - 8 PM and it's FREE to participate! Food and drinks will be available for purchase while you play!

"What's a housecat's worst habit?"
"What's something that might make noise outside your window and wake you up in the morning?"
The game is filled with twists and turns that deviate from the original TV show in ways that make it team-friendly, including plenty of chances to gamble if you want to build a lead (or make a dramatic come-from-behind victory). The top team walks out with a prize, and best of all, the cost of participating is.... zero dollars!
Reservations are highly suggested to confirm your seat! Anyone is welcome to join, either solo or with your crew. Call 860-349-6033 to make a reservation. Arrive early to grab a drink and get settled, first game starts at 6 PM.

About the book The Frozen River:Maine, 1789: When the Kennebec River freezes, entombing a man in the ice, Martha Ballard is summoned to examine the body and determine cause of death. As a midwife and healer, she is privy to much of what goes on behind closed doors in Hallowell. Her diary is a record of every birth and death, crime and debacle that unfolds in the close-knit community. Months earlier, Martha documented the details of an alleged rape committed by two of the town’s most respected gentlemen—one of whom has now been found dead in the ice. But when a local physician undermines her conclusion, declaring the death to be an accident, Martha is forced to investigate the shocking murder on her own.

Over the course of one winter, as the trial nears, and whispers and prejudices mount, Martha doggedly pursues the truth. Her diary soon lands at the center of the scandal, implicating those she loves, and compelling Martha to decide where her own loyalties lie.

Clever, layered, and subversive, Ariel Lawhon’s newest offering introduces an unsung heroine who refused to accept anything less than justice at a time when women were considered best seen and not heard. The Frozen River is a thrilling, tense, and tender story about a remarkable woman who left an unparalleled legacy yet remains nearly forgotten to this day.
