Apologies to Alex Trebek, Sony Pictures, and Merv Griffin (RIP) but while waiting for work to walk through the door, a discussion took place between myself and a few coworkers, all of us with a similar love of the things that make our town the place it is. The result of which was a game of Jeopardy tweaked to fit our strange little town of Ellensburg WA.

I love this crazy little town with all it’s warts and absurdity. We have sunny skies, sagebrush, canyons, and gale force winds. Stop by for Brew Fest, Dachshunds On Parade, Spirit of the West, Western Art Show, Jazz in the Valley, or the Ellensburg Film Festival. You can come for Rodeo Weekend but one more drunken asshole who wants to play cowboy for the weekend is going to piss me off. For More info: http://www.ellensburg-chamber.com/events/.
