Earn bragging rights while you support the Fall for the Book festival. You can come as one, or come as part of a team to participate in a fun night of fundraising trivia.

If it’s been written about, we’ll ask you about it! Books, movies, sports legends, famous literary places, technology, science, and more are all fair game. There will be three rounds of questions, and your points will be recorded after each round. At the end of the evening, the winning individual or team will be awarded a gift card to a local Fairfax VA business.
