Live Trivia Tuesday
When: Tuesdays, 9:30 p.m.
Where: Three-Legged Monkey

For those of us who have something to prove, trivia is a great way to spend Tuesday nights. Plus, there is a $50 prize for first place, $20 for second and $10 for third- not bad for a free night.

Live Trivia Thursday
When: Thursdays, 8:30-10:30 p.m.
Where: The Ringer Pub

Just in case you didn’t get your weekly trivia fix on Tuesday, there is a trivia night on Thursdays as well. The Ringer Pub’s prizes include a piece of the $80 pot.

Little Woodrow’s Turtle Races
When: Thursdays, 8:30 p.m.-1 a.m. Continues through Sept. 27 
Where: Little Woodrow’s

Expect the unexpected in the wonderful world of turtle racing, where fast pace and a sense of direction are the last things on these turtle’s minds. There are three heats a night beginning at 9:00, 10:00 and 11:00 pm.
