Fifth Force rules at regional trivia bowl

There is nothing trivial about Twin City Trivia, an annual competition that challenges trivia teams across central Illinois to match their wits and collective wisdom for prizes and a coveted trophy. The big event was held Saturday, Nov. 7, at Smash House Bar and Restaurant on Normal’s east side, where 25 teams — including two Springfield teams — gathered to face off. John Mark Woelfel, president of Twin City Trivia and host of the event, says the competition is now in its 11th year, taking time off only in 2020 because of the COVID pandemic. The teams start competing in January, wracking up points every time they play in their home towns, and the cumulative totals help them earn a seat at the “Trivia Bowl.” “This is my favorite event of the year,” says Woelfel, who manages the annual competition from his Bloomington-Normal homebase, hence the Twin City destination.
