SO YOU THINK YOU KNOW BATH—THE RE-MATCH!

            So, last year you--and many other Bath residents—thought you knew Bath!  And discovered, to your shock and awe, that perhaps you did not know quite all there was to know.  Start studying now for the grudge match: So You Think You Know Bath will be pitting the great minds of Bath wisdom against one another  once more on Saturday, April 5th, at the Winter Street Center from 6 to 9 P.M.  Last year’s champions, the Patten Free Library team, will be defending their hard-won crown against other teams eager to avenge last year’s defeat and new teams impatient to test their mettle.  Buy your tickets early to be sure you can be there to cheer on your favorite institution’s team, or to plume yourself on knowing the answers that they miss.

            The evening will start at 6 with a time to socialize with friends after this long winter and to enjoy great food from the local restaurants, new and old.  At 6:30, the first round of three teams will compete to answer 20 questions, then social breaks will alternate with two more rounds, before culminating with the Championship Round where the three previous winners face off to determine who really knows Bath.  Be prepared to learn a lot and laugh a lot and have a great evening to benefit Main Street Bath in its mission to preserve and promote downtown Bath.  There will be a silent auction of wonderful items, a sale of raffle tickets for great prizes, sale of the new Bloomin’ Bath buttons to help with the increased cost of the downtown summer flowers, and sale of the new note cards featuring the Jim Stilphen paintings in the Archway to help add more artwork to that outdoor gallery.

            Tickets are $30 and may be purchased from members of the Main Street Bath board, or at the Main Street office at 4 Centre Street.  They are also available at Now You’re Cooking, Magnolia, and Brick Store Antiques on Front Street.  Come downtown to pick up your tickets and walk around and look carefully—you never know what little fact may stump the stars!
