[RECAP] Ohio #StateChallenge Meetup

This is the recap for the Ohio StateChallenge held on Saturday, May 29th.

Thank you for giving me a chance to co-host this meetup @Denise_Barlock and @jayasimha78 .

The Ohio StateChallenge meetup is conducted an hour earlier than usual. Some attendees did not get the notification early enough they came too late but still, we had fun enjoying the rest of the game.

I was so proud to inform others that the Ohio StateChallenge is very special to me because it will be hosted by @Denise_Barlock and co-hosted by myself, @Erna_LaBeau and we would be sitting next to each other in her comfy home. Let me spread the secret a little bit. Every week or almost every week we see Denise having her meetup inside her home. But one thing I notice is that her motorhome looks a thousand times better in reality than what you see on the screen. It is a gorgeous home!

We got to her location around 10:45 am and set up our laptops next to each other to adjust the sound. If you know Denise from the StateChallenge, she is as fun in person as she is in front of the screen, she is hilarious and it is not easy co-hosting the meetup when she always makes us giggle over silly things. We did a wonderful job though. Thanks to @jayasimha78 who was doing a fabulous job.

Before I continue, I would like to congratulate @RosyKohli for being the winner. So proud of you, Rosy!

The competition was very close. Every participant did their best to compete with each other and we all raced to be the winner.

Besides the hour change on StateChallenge, it was thirty minutes earlier than usual. Denise and Jay tried a new game called FINAL QUESTION. This game is fun, you can bet all your wager with the minimum bet is your disability points.

Thank you to @TravellerG for being able to join us for a while and being able to greet our spouses. Thanks to @SilvyC and @jayasimha78 for helping me with the questions. Some choices of wrong answers were funny, for example:

If a restaurant wants to serve horse meat in Ohio, they must display?

  1. Horse meat serve here
  2. Now you can eat Mr. Ed
  3. Best horse meat in Town
  4. Horse’s leg for breakfast

In North Canton, Ohio, it is against the law to roller skate without notifying?

  1. Police
  2. Sheriff
  3. Spouse
  4. Parent

What is the name of the casino in Tushar’s post?

  1. Horseshoe
  2. Horsetooth
  3. Horselips
  4. Horseshirt

Volunteering in making questions will give you more chances to win if you remember the answer to your questions (trust me you will not always remember the correct answer to your questions).

The next WorldChallenge will be the State of Minnesota please check here. I hope to see you all next Saturday at Minnesota StateChallenge!

Hi @JaneBurunina I thought I have responded to your post. My apology for the late reply. Yes it was a wonderful meetup with @Denise_Barlock I will hunt her down again if she is close by my area LOL. Glad we both love kayaking and she pulled all the three of us when she used her motor, it was really fun. I have to write about our physical meetup soon.
