Lawrence County Trivia Competition (2018)

Students from all county schools are invited to participate in this academic competition, answering history, geography, business, people, and sports questions about Lawrence County.

For over 30 years, the Lawrence County Historical Society has provided an opportunity for all Lawrence County students in grades 7 – 12 to learn local history with its “LCHS Trivia Game.” This year’s competitions will be held at Northminster Presbyterian Church on Feb. 22, 2018.
The facts, covering local history, geography, people, buildings, industry, and sports, are written on a set of cards created by the Historical Society. After practices in school and at home, the activity culminates with four competitions – Junior High Individual, Junior High Team, Senior High Individual, and Senior High Team.
Historical Society members and school advisors serve as judges for the competitions. LCHS Board member, Stephanie Fulena, coordinates and moderates the event each year.
Plaques for first place winners are given to the winning schools and first through fourth place students win cash prizes.
This challenging game (for children and adults) can be purchased at the Society or online on our website.
Event details will also be published in the New Castle News.
Coordinator & Moderator: Stephanie Fulena, LCHS
