It’s Smart Mixer Time

The pre-smart mixer hosted by Bob Smith Toyota is an event that somewhat disrupts the normalcy of the company but it does come with some tasty food. Not smart food, just tasty food. There will be no answers floating around for the upcoming Smart-a-thon; however, feel free to purchase a car. But that gets you no answers either. 

We can give you the answer to a question that is most likely on your mind. Where does the Smart-a-Thon take place? We have that answer: it’s at USC Verdugo Hills Hospital. But don’t bother snooping around there. They won’t have the answers until March 7.

The chamber mixer takes place on “Fat Tuesday,” which means eat all the Mardi Gras chili you can … or think you can. It’s definitely not from a can. But what you might win is $150 if you’re a member of the chamber and are at the “smart” mixer. There will be several chances to win prizes, in case you forgot to buy someone something for Valentine’s Day. It follows Fat Tuesday.

The mixer is on Tuesday, Feb. 13 from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. and, in the very rare case you don’t know where Bob Smith Toyota is located, it’s at 3333 Foothill Blvd., La Crescenta. Cost to attend is $10. You didn’t think that tasty chili came free, did you? It takes days to cook. We’ll have desserts and other refreshments as well.  

Let me leave you with one of the typical questions from Smart-a-Thon and some possible answers.  

Q. Which of the following could be your mother’s father’s daughter’s son?  

A. Your nephew   B. Your cousin   C. Your uncle   D. Your great-uncle

Remember there are four brains (members) to a team to work these questions out while the clock keeps ticking. No team has ever gotten all the questions correct.  The team that comes in last place is never announced, but can be bought for a donation.  

For more information, give us a call at the Chamber office.  

Jean Maluccio is the former
president of the Crescenta Valley Chamber of Commerce. She
continues to advise the chamber and is an active chamber member.
