Win Prizes in the Retro Con 2013 Trivia Contest!
We’ve combed the far reaches of our attic to find items for our first ever trivia contest!! We’ve got a good mix of both new and retro items, with more on the way. Hosted by our good friend Mike Breaux of The Breaux Show, the contest will be held in the panel room at the convention (start time and duration to be determined). There are no age restrictions, anyone can watch and play! We will reveal each item one at a time, then ask a trivia question related to it. After which we will randomly select a person in the audience that has their hand raised to answer. If they get it right, they win the prize right on the spot. It’s very free and open, so stop by and test your knowledge of all things geek!
