The pub-style trivia version of our weekly MinnPost Quiz featured Minneapolis Foundation President and CEO R.T. Rybak and MinnPost quizmaster Andrew Minck challenging teams to flaunt their knowledge of the state, from the birthplace of famous Minnesotans to facts about the upcoming election to names of all of the lakes in Minneapolis (hint: It’s more than you think).
Seventeen spirited teams participated in the event, facing off against teams from MinnPost and the Minneapolis Foundation for an array of fabulous prizes and bragging rights.
Congratulations to our winners!
