Scantron 5000 Trivia: 2000s Edition (Wednesday)

‍

Think you are an expert on all things pop culture? Test your talents at Saturn this Wednesday! Image from Saturn

A lot has happened in the world of pop culture since January 1, 2000. TV shows ranging from Lost to Human Giant to Heroes all came and claimed a piece of our hearts. One-hit wonders, global heartthrobs, and media moments seemed to come in a daily reel - leaving a trail of trivia dust behind them. You could do a whole trivia centered around Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck’s relationship alone, but the next Scantron 5000 Trivia event at Saturn quizzes you on all things 2000s pop culture! The fun competition takes place this Wednesday night.

Avondale’s Holiday Market (Saturday)

‍

Santa Clause is coming to town! In fact, he will be in Birmingham this Saturday at Avondale Brewing. The jolly fellow will be taking pictures (pets are welcome) and bringing tidings of comfort and joy. Plenty of great opportunities to support local businesses and sip on hot chocolate will be available as well.
