I grew up in Fresno. Relaxed in its calm breezes, listened with my dad to the crack of the bat at little league baseball games when I was a kid and now take my son to do the same at minor league games. I broadened my mind at its schools (I went to high school right here at San Joaquin Memorial, and to college at Fresno State!) I love that if I drive for two hours in one direction, I can be in the mountains. For two hours in another, luxuriating on a California beach. I can enjoy the cosmopolitan atmosphere of San Francisco or Los Angeles, but still be able to come home to relaxation, calm, and quiet.

I love where I live, and I also love what I do. I'm lucky to be able to work in a profession in which I get to build relationships; one that has me meeting new people each and every day and helping them to build new lives in my beloved city. I'm lucky enough to work in a profession in which I can marry cutting-edge technologies and marketing techniques to good, old-fashioned, nose-to-the-grindstone work. I am lucky enough to work in a profession that allows me to work as an advocate for my clients; to use every tool at my disposal to get a job done well for them, and with as little stress and expense as possible.

I love my city. I love my job. One inspires my excellence for the other.

Time to Put Those Random Facts to Good Use! Trivia Around Town

Luis Parrales

I've been with FresYes Realty since before it existed! I love what we do here and truly believe in our mission of highlighting the people, places, lifestyle and homes of Fresno. I'm the self-proclaimed comedy headliner in the office, have a passion for BBQ and I'm a huge advocate of Downtown Fresno!

Although it has only taken off recently, trivia in the United States dates back one century to the 1920s. Trivia was first used on radio entertainment and on game shows. For example, radio shows would add questions and answers to their programs, providing trivial information to their listeners. In 1935, the prize component of trivia was introduced with NBC’s “Vox Pop” quiz show. Vox Pop was a popular radio program of interviews, quizzes and human interest features that was on the air from the 1930s until the late 1940s. Vox Pop was the first on-air show that had an element of audience participation.

When television became popular in the United States, TV game shows took off in the 1950s. During this decade, the quiz shows Dotto, The $64,000 Question, and Twenty One became extremely popular. Like anything else, the popularity of game shows came with controversy, as it was learned that game shows were providing their contestants with the answers. After a congressional investigation and change in the laws, game shows like Jeopardy! were introduced and well-received among audiences.

Then in the late 1970s, Trivial Pursuit and other trivia board games were developed, only adding to the popularity of trivia and quiz games. In 1979, Chris Haney, a photo editor for Montreal’s The Gazette, and Scott Abbott, a sports editor for The Canadian Press, invented the game Trivial Pursuit over a couple of beers at Haney’s apartment, but it wasn’t until 1982 when they released the game to the public. The game was a roaring success, generating over $800 million in sales in 1984 alone. Since its creation, the game has sold over 100 million copies and has been played by an estimated 1 billion people worldwide.

During this time, bar trivia began becoming popular in the UK as a way to lure customers into bars during their quieter nights. In fact, during the 1970s, pub quizzes were a staple at Irish pubs. It wasn’t until the 1980s when bar trivia arrived in America and became popular. Unlike UK bars, the demographics at bar trivia in the United States skews younger. Also, the games in the United States tend to be more informal and social that the very competitive pub quizzes in the United Kingdom. For those new to the concept of bar trivia, it is a quiz night or a live hosted trivia experience at a bar, event space or restaurant. Most trivia in bars is held in a series of about 5 “rounds” that involve 5-7 questions each per round, and people are in teams made up of anywhere from one person to a team as large as six players. Traditional trivia in bars follows a format in which the host reads off questions, and guests answer on sheets of paper. There are some tech-savvy trivia night events, where handheld tablets are used, so scoring is instant and automatic.

New TV shows started to pop up in the 1990s, such as Who Wants to be a Millionaire and Win Ben Stein’s Money. Who Wants to be a Millionaire was the first U.S. network game show to offer a million-dollar top prize. As a result, the show made television history by becoming one of the highest-rated game shows in the history of American television.

Today, trivia is available in almost every form – from radio to TV shows to phone apps, board games and trivia pub nights. The aforementioned phone app can be credited to HQ Trivia, an app and mobile trivia game, released on August 26, 2017, in which players can play for free in daily trivia games through which they can win or split the prize money. Similar to a TV show, HQ Trivia airs daily at 6pm. During the show, the host asks a series of increasingly difficult multiple-choice questions, each with three possible answers.

Throughout Fresno every week, there is a multitude of trivia nights.

Sequoia Brewing Company has trivia every Monday night at 8pm.

On Tuesdays, House of Pendragon hosts a pub quiz at 7 pm and Neighbors Tap & Cook House hosts an event at 6:30 pm.

On Wednesdays, Tioga Sequoia Brewing Co and Santa Fe Basque host trivia nights. Tioga Sequoia Brewing Co’s trivia night begins at 7 pm and Santa Fe Basque hosts a trivia night at 8 pm for teams of 1-6 people.

The Fresno Convention Center is jam-packed with the latest and greatest in cars, trucks, SUVs, and crossovers this weekend. 

The Central California Auto Show is a free event, where you can see over 50 different models from 13 brands including Buick, Chevrolet, Chrysler, Dodge, Fiat, GMC, Jeep, Nissan, RAM, and Toyota.

“This show is great because there are brand specialists on-site that can answer any questions on the vehicles they represent,” said Victoria Blackwell, with The Central California Auto Show. “ No salespeople, just specialists to help guests get a better understanding of what they like and that makes it easier to compare vehicles without driving all over town.  It’s a no-pressure, no-hassle, no-sales event.  If someone finds something that they want to purchase or get financing information they will be directed to local dealerships.”

The automobiles will be on display throughout the New Exhibit Hall and Valdez Hall. You can look under the hood and sit in the vehicles. This event is designed for both car shoppers and car lovers.

“There really is something for everyone,” Blackwell said.  “And it’s a family-friendly event, so everyone is welcome.”

Toyota will be offering test drives of vehicles at the Toyota Drive Center. Some of the vehicles that are expected to be available for a test drive are the Camry, Corolla, RAV4, and Tundra.

“Every year there is always a huge turnout and it’s fun to see how surprised everyone is by all the new vehicles,” Blackwell says. “Whether it’s the technology or all the new styles of vehicles, guests always seem to be enjoying themselves.”

Something new at this year’s car show is that there will also be some Certified Pre-Owned vehicles on display. 

This event is put on by the Fresno-Clovis New Dealers Association and Motor Trend.

It runs Friday and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

The Fresno Convention Center is located at 848 M Street in downtown Fresno. To learn more visit FresnoClovisAutoShow.com

I grew up in Fresno. Relaxed in its calm breezes, listened with my dad to the crack of the bat at little league baseball games when I was a kid and now take my son to do the same at minor league games. I broadened my mind at its schools (I went to high school right here at San Joaquin Memorial, and to college at Fresno State!) I love that if I drive for two hours in one direction, I can be in the mountains. For two hours in another, luxuriating on a California beach. I can enjoy the cosmopolitan atmosphere of San Francisco or Los Angeles, but still be able to come home to relaxation, calm, and quiet.

I love where I live, and I also love what I do. I'm lucky to be able to work in a profession in which I get to build relationships; one that has me meeting new people each and every day and helping them to build new lives in my beloved city.
