Doors open at 6 p.m. and the trivia starts at 7 p.m. Kathy Lewis, who oversees the sanctuary, said it’s the perfect way to spend Valentine’s Day while helping a good cause. “What else do you do with your sweetheart?” Lewis asked. “Take your sweetheart, come to the trivia, bring your own little snacks, have a good time.” Lewis explained that Legendary Mustang Sanctuary rescues wild mustangs and burros from kill pens and rehabilitates them at their location in Alhambra. Their ultimate goal is to help these horses get adopted into loving families. They need funds to care for the horses and rescue as many as possible.
