Mastermind is expanding its operations

MasterMind! trivia activities are alive and well during the summer months. Enjoy the question sets that are available in the coffee bars and in the Tack Room on Thursday nights.

Mastermind! is expanding its operations. There will be a tournament this autumn that is patterned after the Family Feud television game show, so

start your planning now. The MasterMind! Feud tournament is aimed at teams from the various Robson Ranch clubs and organizations, such as the bridge club against the softball team or the quilting group against the pickleball players. Each MasterMind! Feud team must have three to members.

There is no cost to participate in the MasterMind! Feud tournament, and prizes will be awarded to the winning team. If you want to play, send an email message to Sam Ellis at [email protected] for your club or organization. A limited number of spots are available.

Also, the autumn 201 MasterMind! Trivia Tournament of Champions (a Jeopardy-style event for individuals) is scheduled for Oct. 22. If you want to be a contestant, send an email message to Sam Ellis.

As a reminder, the MasterMind! website, mmindfun.wixsite.com/mysite, has sample trivia questions and information about various events.
