Are you a casual observer of Utah politics, liking a #utpol post here and there? 
Or maybe you watch the 45-day legislative session like college sports fans watch March Madness? 
Wherever you fall on the spectrum of civic engagement, KUER's State Street team invites you to a night of politics-themed trivia. 
When: Thursday, April 23. 
Doors open at 6 p.m. 
Grab a brew and get settled with your team before trivia starts at 6:30 p.m. 
The event is free, but tickets are required. 
Where: Fisher Brewing Company, 320 West 800 South, Salt Lake City, UT 84101. 
Food trucks will be on-site. 
Hosts Sean Higgins and Hugo Rikard-Bell will quiz you, your friends and a team of Utah legislators on a wide variety of topics. 
Expect rounds touching on everything from pop culture to Utah by the numbers and yes: POLITICS! 
All with a dash of silliness you've come to expect from the State Street crew. 
Plus, listen closely to the most recent season of State Street: there may just be a few answers hidden in those episodes.
