Win Prizes By Answering Trivia At Home

Next week's 19th Annual Trivia Challenge will raise money for Project Read, and we'll be Tweeting and live-blogging the questions to let you get in on the fun from home.

It's an annual South City tradition: lively teams of three dress up in masks, paper hats and pom poms to compete for the title of North County Trivia Champion—and raise some money for Project Read of North San Mateo County in the process.

That's right, it's time again for the , and this year,

Project Read is an adult literacy program that matches volunteer tutors with adult learners who are trying to improve their literacy so they can get a better job, read to their kids or get a degree. The program, which is based in the library, assists hundreds of people every year improve their reading and writing skills.

On Friday night, the non-profit will hold its annual fundraiser, which includes a dinner, silent auction, raffle and of course, the trivia challenge, where teams of three face off for the championship. 

But if you won't be about to make it to the fundraiser but still want to join the fun, you'll have a chance. I'll be at the Trivia Challenge and will be Tweeting and live-blogging the questions as they're asked. You'll have about 20 seconds to reply with the right answer, and the person with the most right answers will win a goody bag of Patch swag (think tote bags, pens and magnets).
