Mariposa Museum Geography Challenge Community Event; Peterborough Townhouse, Peterborough

Peterborough, New Hampshire - On Oct 14th the Mariposa Museum’s Second Annual Geography Challenge will be held at the Peterborough Townhouse.  This community event, free and open to the public, begins at 12 noon with time for lunch and to shop from the international food and gift bazaar.  At 1pm the Geography Challenge begins with spirited competition between 15 teams of three, comprised of contestants of varying ages and inclinations.  Questions about all aspects of our world begin easy and increase in difficulty as teams are eliminated.  The teams are encouraged to wear costumes and the audience will vote on which is the most original.

The afternoon of the Geography Challenge also culminates the Mariposa’s ongoing “Destination Raffle” offering weekends in New York, Boston and Martha’s Vineyard and a National Geographic globe.  Raffle tickets are currently available to the Mariposa and online at www.mariposamuseum.org.

This fundraiser supports the Mariposa’s education programs, performances and exhibitions.

The Townhouse, located at 1 Grove Street, is wheelchair accessible.
