drama; as well as four television categories: reality, sitcom, miniseries and
drama. Each category will contain ten questions.
Doors will open at 5:30 p.m.

and teams can range from two to ten people. Concessions will be available, but
outside food/beverages are also permitted.
All proceeds will benefit
Heartland’s Emergency Assistance Program. Nearly
all those served by the organization are at or below 185% of the federal
poverty. These individuals have very limited financial resources. Unfortunately, an unplanned expense such as a
vehicle or home repair very quickly results in their inability to meet basic
needs for themselves and their families. In response, Heartland developed the
Emergency Assistance program to address these unique needs not addressed by
other services. As with all other programs, it is designed to aid consumers in
meeting essential needs in order to remain independent and living within their
own home. Funds are most often requested
for utility or prescription assistance
