COURTESY OF COLLEEN MCGINN Team “Ski Bums” show off their Park City Mountain book bags they won during a Thursday afternoon Park City MegaMind PubQuiz apres Power Hour session at Legends Bar and Grill. Three weekly game sessions are open to the public SCOTT IWASAKI The Park Record Park City’s MegaMind PubQuiz co-founder Colleen McGinn has her own New Year’s resolution:he wants to help people learn new things. To do this, she hosts sessions that are open to the public three nights a week. The first one held at 7 p.m. every Tuesday at Flanagan’s on Main, 438 Main St. The second is at 6 p.m. every Wednesday at Park City Brewery, 2720 Rasmussen Road, Suite A1. These two sessions cost $5 per team up to five members. A few weeks ago, McGinn, who co-founded the MegaMind PubQuiz five years ago with Melia Denali, added a free apres ski Power Hour Trivia from 3:30-4:30 p.m. every Thursday at Legends Bar and Grill at Park City Mountain. “This one’s cool because people can just ski in and have fun doing trivia,” McGinn said during an interview with The Park Record. “Once it starts warming up in the spring, we’ll move the event to the Umbrella Bar at Canyons.” Each MegaMind PubQuiz session will feature prizes, and she is especially excited for the Power Hour prizes. “We have Park City Mountain book bags, Helly Hansen hats and gift certificates to Starbucks,” she said. In addition to these public sessions, McGinn hosts private MegaMind PubQuiz parties for corporations, birthdays and showers. “We did one for the Utah Jazz and we did one for the Salt Lake Bees last fall,” she said. “We also did one for eBay as well.” The genesis for the Park City Mountain sessions came during one of the Utah Jazz sessions. “There was a woman there who asked if we could do one for a baby shower,” McGinn said. “And when I did the baby shower, one of the women who was there works for Park City Mountain, and said she was looking for a fun new apres activity. Trivia fit the bill.” McGinn is grateful for the support Park City has shown MegaMind PubQuiz over the past five years. “People genuinely love it, and I know it’s not me, it’s the trivia,” she said. “There is something cool and quirky about trivia, and the topics can cater to anyone’s interests and needs.” McGinn enjoys keeping the trivia current. “That way we can give people the opportunity to find out what’s going on in the world,” WITH THE golearn.utah.edu | 801.581.6980 Your future Mountain Home is calling Check out the Park Record’s Real Estate Monthly for listings in Park City and the surrounding areas Looking to sell a home, condo, property, or townhome?
