Virginia's Knowledge Bowl
Virginia is part of Minnesota's northeast region of knowledge bowl. There are competitive levels of three teams each at elementary, junior high, junior varsity, and varsity. Each level has three different teams that compete from Virginia. Varsity teams have a chance to make it to state in Brainerd, Minnesota; but all of the other teams just compete in three meets in the area at the Lake Country building in Mountain Iron. Recently, in 2009 and 2010, Virginia sent a team to state knowledge bowl.

Famous quotes containing the words knowledge and/or bowl:
“But there’s another knowledge that my heart destroys
As the fox in the old fable destroyed the Spartan boy’s
Because it proves that things both can and cannot be;
That the swordsmen and the ladies can still keep company;
Can pay the poet for a verse and hear the fiddle sound,
That I am still their servant though all are underground.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
“Or ever the silver cord be loosed, or the golden bowl be broken, or
the pitcher be broken at the fountain, or the wheel broken at the
cistern.
Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit
shall return unto God who gave it.
Vanity of vanities, saith the preacher, all is vanity.”
—Bible: Hebrew Ecclesiastes (l. XII, 6–7)
