December 17, 2008 – Bay Area fans of crossword puzzles and the popular Sudoku game are invited to compete in the second annual Silicon Valley Puzzle Day on Sunday February 3, 2008. The Friends of the Morgan Hill Library is hosting the event to celebrate puzzle fun and raise awareness of the new Morgan Hill Library that opened last summer.
“Silicon Valley Puzzle Day was so much fun last year that we’re doing it again,” said Lisa Pampuch, co-chair of the event. “Anyone who enjoys puzzles, who wants to keep their brain sharp, and who appreciates the library will love Silicon Valley Puzzle Day.”
This is the West Coast’s only competition combining crosswords and Sudoku for brain-building fun. The event is open to puzzle lovers of all ages, and prizes will be given to winners of the crossword and Sudoku puzzle contests. Competitors will compete in either youth (8-15 years) or adult (16 or older) divisions.
At free workshops throughout the day, puzzle experts will reveal secrets on how to improve crossword and Sudoku skills. A special marketplace area will sell food, puzzle books, and games.
The event is free for people who want to come and watch the competitors or learn new puzzle skills in workshops. Puzzle tournament participants pay $5 for each contest.
The Friends of the Morgan Hill Library is a group of volunteers dedicated to enhancing the quality of service at the Morgan Hill Library.
