A Cranbourne trivia team appeared on a live Fox FM radio show on Thursday 14 September, at Chipmunks Playland at the Cranbourne Homemaker Centre, vying for the ultimate prize of $10,000.
For the first time in history, 101.9 Fox FM’s Fifi, Dave, Fev and Byron presented a quiz show – ‘Are You Smarter Than … Arena spectacular’ with trivia host and Australian TV game show royalty, Burgo, otherwise known as “Baby” John Burgess.
Cranbourne’s team ‘Beer Makes Me Smarter’ was one of 20 teams of four players who put their knowledge to the test in the premiere event, which is in the regular show segment played at 6.20am each morning on Fox FM, where a listener gets the opportunity to take on Fifi or Fev in a round of answering a “best of three” trivia questions.
Cranbourne team member Dean Kelly said they were “really happy” at being selected: “We registered online and got selected – unexpected.”
Cranbourne Home retail marketing manager Victoria Jenny Birt said: “It was such a delight to see the collaboration with Fox FM and a Cranbourne Home retailer, Chipmunks Play Centre. The team at Chipmunks and Fox FM worked extremely hard to ensure the night was a success, with a team walking away with $10,000.
“Cranbourne Home is a very community driven centre and we look forward to continuing to work with different groups to bring the community together,” she said.
