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 virginia, knowledge and/or bowl:
“While I am in favor of the Government promptly enforcing the laws for the present, defending the forts and collecting the revenue, I am not in favor of a war policy with a view to the conquest of any of the slave States; except such as are needed to give us a good boundary. If Maryland attempts to go off, suppress her in order to save the Potomac and the District of Columbia. Cut a piece off of western Virginia and keep Missouri and all the Territories.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
“Science asks no questions about the ontological pedigree or a priori character of a theory, but is content to judge it by its performance; and it is thus that a knowledge of nature, having all the certainty which the senses are competent to inspire, has been attained—a knowledge which maintains a strict neutrality toward all philosophical systems and concerns itself not with the genesis or a priori grounds of ideas.”
—Chauncey Wright (1830–1875)
“Fill high the bowl with Samian wine!
Our virgins dance beneath the shade—
I see their glorious black eyes shine;
But gazing on each glowing maid,
My own the burning tear-drop laves,
To think such breasts must suckle slaves.”
—George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
