The Return of Bube's Trivia!

Here's what you might find as some good news: I'm returning to host live trivia in Bube's outdoor seating area this Tuesday, June 16th (Weather permitting)!

What's new:

  • The time: gameplay starts at 7:30 P.M.

  • Reservations are available! You can call (717-653-2056) any time during business hours to reserve a trivia table. Please note that trivia seatings are only available for 7 P.M. or later. This theoretically allows for the regular early dinner tables to be turned.

  • Please bring your own pen (disposable golf pencils will be available if you forget)

  • The Trashbag O'Deelite will be replaced by something less germy

What's old:

  • Me

If you feel comfortable with this and your brain is craving a workout, I'd love to see you Tuesday!
