Tickets for this year’s 22nd annual Kumbia Brain Drain went on sale today, and if you’re planning to attend you should book quickly.
Although the Brain Drain won’t be held until August 29, tickets to the last three have sold out months ahead of time.
The reason? The size of the Kumbia Hall means no more than 210 trivia buffs can take part.
The Brain Drain is an annual fundraiser for the Kumbia State School P&C, and it takes the form of a fancy dress trivia night.
Last year’s theme was “Space Oddity” and Kumbia Hall was packed with all sorts of crazy costumes as guests competed for prizes for the best-dressed team and best team name.
This year, the theme will be “Nightmare On Bell Street” (Kumbia’s main street) and all manner of non-Disney costumes can be expected.
Apart from the costume cash prizes, participants also compete for cash prizes in each round, as well as an overall first prize for being the brightest team of the night.
To help things along, this year the Brain Drain committee will be supplying free G(h)oulash, tea and coffee.
But guests are encouraged to bring along an esky filled with snacks and drinks to keep their teams supplied with other essentials.
Brain Drain participants need to be aged 15 or above, and teams compete in groups of six.
For those who prefer not to drive, a $5 per seat bus will also be running from Kingaroy on the night.
Tickets are $90 per team – or $200 for a corporate table – and can be obtained by phoning Heidi on (0402) 340-229, Peter on (0438) 627-718 or Michele on (0428) 968-165, or by sending an email.
