Do You Know Your Strombo Trivia Contest.

Happy Birthday to us!

This group blog, The Stroumboulopouli, started May 30 2006 with this post. Some of the bloggers have changed over the years and new bloggers now lend their talents. I thank them all! We celebrated a number of moments over the seasons and look forward to more seasons and more celebrations.  On our 2nd birthday we held a trivia contest with George announcing  the winners on The Strombo Show.  I don't know where the time went and our 6th birthday is coming up fast so lets try that again just for fun!
