The Lyme Old Lyme Education Foundation is pleased to announce its first Annual Trivia Bee to be held November 2nd 2012.

The winning team from each round will participate in a championship round. Teams will compete for the Honey Cup, a perpetual trophy as well as the honor of being Crowned LOL’s Trivia Bee Champion. Prizes will also be awarded for the best costume and best name. Spectators are encouraged to cheer on their favorite teams in person. Admission to the Bee is free.
