The City of Maple Grove is hosting a trivia game in celebration of National Trivia Day tomorrow, and they’re posing questions that range from the practical to the peculiar about their own slice of Minnesota. Participants can test their knowledge with questions about the city’s parkland, water features, retail space, and even the Community Center’s pools.
The city’s social media post invites everyone to take a crack at questions like the name of the newest park in Maple Grove and the percentage of the town that is water. Not only will participants need to know the hefty number of gallons in the community pools but also to venture a guess at the latest badge number issued to new police officers. The trivia takes a broader scope with a question about the starting and ending points of Interstate 94, which bisects the city. Those eager to join in can find the questions on the city’s Facebook page.
Maple Grove, with its 35.03 square miles, and a curiosity-inducing number of cul-de-sacs plowed by public works, makes for a rich subject for such an event. Not to mention the retail space calculation, which is likely to raise some eyebrows.
Answers to this local lore will be shared by the City of Maple Grove at 9:00 a.m. on Saturday. For those keen to find out just how deep their Maple Grove roots go—or who simply want to quickly pick up some local trivia to impress.
