Hi @Denise_Barlock ,

This topic sounds fantastic!

I’ve never attended a 4th of July celebration. I know about it only from movies and books.

Really interesting to learn more about traditional celebration of Independence Day from USA Local Guides!

Count me in! :wink:

@KashifMisidia I saw your request to have Pakistan time in the meetup information and I’ll do that! Can you validate that the start time of Noon EST is 4:00am in Pakistan? OH MY!!! I’ll rethink the times to see if I can do better for you after Indiana which is already scheduled.

Hi @Denise_Barlock , Pakistan and India have almost similar time, just 30 minutes difference.

So if you will write India time 09:30 pm, in Pakistan it will be 09:00 pm.

So just 30 minutes difference for both of the countries. So Indiana Meet-up will be at 09:00 pm for Pakistani Participants :slightly_smiling_face:

Hahaha may be I would be on First position today because sometimes I had noise problem by my headphone. And someone was talking continuously without muting the Mic. But Peter was really great to write instantly.

But anyways, I really love your Trivia Meet-up #statechallenge.

And I would love to join every meetup, because as I said before, surprisingly I m gaining knowledge by research and write. So your meet-ups are so fruitful, at least for me :smiley:

But next week, I had an Accessibility meet-up at the same time, I will be co host for it. But I will try my best to join symbolic in #statechallenge Indiana Meetup :smiling_face: :smiley:

Thanks @Denise_Barlock
