Trivia at Ohio Fire
Join us at Ohio Fire for Trivia on the first Tuesday of every month except for December. Questions start promptly at 6:00 so be sure to arrive early for your team to get a slot before we start. Trivia is formatted with three rounds of 10 questions each.
Every team receives a packet with three sheets of answer slips worth 1-10 points for each round making a maximum score per round of 55. Final trivia is wager based meaning you can win or lose it all on the last question so bid wisely! The top three teams receive a generous gift card from Ohio Fire so if you win dinner may just be on us! We’ll go over a refresher of how it all works when you arrive.
Plan to arrive early to grab some amazing food, a drink, and pick your team name. We are excited to see you there so ready your brains for trivia and your stomachs for pizza! 
Vietnam: My Story – Book Signing with Greg Gorrell
Ashland Native, Greg Gorrell, community leader and Vietnam War infantry combat veteran, chronicles his personal journey during the war – and “the War” in his country when he came home.
His book, Vietnam-Survival: There & Home, depicts the good, the bad, and the ugly on a military and personal level.
It is about life, death, heartache, injury, mistakes, divorce, tragedy, and a lifetime journey of survival, hope, faith, redemption, forgiveness, reflections, and healing.
Greg joins the Ashland County Historical Society on Thursday, May 22nd at 6:30 PM at the Freer Children’s Home (1260 Center St, Ashland) for a book signing, presentation, and discussion. We hope to see you there!
Greg’s book will be $20. All proceeds from the book go directly to the printing of the book and to supporting the veterans of Ashland County. To preorder the book, click the link below!
