2011 Gran-Bee news
For the eighth time, the annual GEF Gran-Bee Trivia Contest drew a
cheering crowd to the auditorium of Granby Memorial High School. Twenty-six teams gathered in support of the event, which is the primary
fundraising vehicle for the Foundation’s Community Grant Program. Gran-Bee committee co-chair Frania Fairchild facilitated the question
and answer portion of the evening, ably leading teams through five
swarms of play to the championship round. Questions ranged from
actresses in Bruce Springsteen videos to the names of Chinese parlor
games to the nationality of fictional characters in literature—all leading
to the victory of team Bee S’s,
sponsored by Tony Bussman
Painting. The second-time
winners were gracious in victory
and clearly happy to be back at
the top of the hive. The GEF greatly appreciates
the support of the sponsors,
participants, volunteers, and
attendees whose continued
loyalty to the Bee helped raise
approximately $12,000 for our
General Fund!
