It’s the world’s largest trivia game and America is the game board. It’s the Fireball Run and this year they're celebrating their 10th Anniversary. They started in Hartford, Connecticut and they’re coming to Dutchess County this week. It's all part of a 26-episode streaming series.

40 rally teams will compete in a legendary 2,000 mile, 8 city, 8 day life size trivia game, which is also America’s largest active recovery effort for missing children. Each team is assigned a child missing from their home area, they are giving one thousand missing child fliers to distribute throughout the 2,000 mile journey. Over the past 10 years, these efforts have lead to the recovery of 44 missing children.

Join the fun with 2 street parties this week. Come out Wednesday afternoon from 3 to 6 and meet all 40 teams at the finish line on Main Street near Hudson Beach Glass in Beacon and/or Thursday morning from 8-10 at the starting line at Civic Center Plaza in front of the Poughkeepsie City Hall.
