Highlights from January 30th Detroit Trivia Soiree–Sold-Out at the Historic Two Way Inn

Digging Detroit and Detroit History Tours had a wonderful time last nigh at the sold-out Detroit Trivia Soiree II at the historic Two Way Inn.  It was a fierce competition with 9 rounds, great prizes, limerick, doodles and all kinds of free beer contests that involved being the first to get to the front and show a DPL card, selfie at a Detroit sporting event, etc.  Special thanks to authors Greg Sumner (Detroit in World War II ) and Karen Dybis (Better Made in Michigan) for providing signed copies of their books along with special tours from the Detroit Parade Company and the Detroit Public Library.
