Rancho Santa Fe Toastmasters host ‘To Tell the Truth’ contest

Rancho Santa Fe Toastmasters will hold “To Tell the Truth,” a special contest, on Tuesday, Nov. 18. In this spin on an old TV game-show favorite, two teams of three contestants each will describe the same unusual occupation or experience within a 2- to 3-minute time frame. The “truthful” character is accompanied by two impostors who pretend to be the “real” person. Together, three of them each quote the same description of an unusual occupation or experience. (Look forward to some outlandish experiences laced with lots of humor!)

After the allotted time is up, the audience has five minutes to ask questions of the three contestants. The impostors are allowed to lie (and will exaggerate as much as they can!) but the central character is sworn “To Tell The Truth.” The audience will be relentless with final questions to try to trick the imposters into stumbling over their words. In the end, the “truthful” contestant will stand up! The contest runs from 5:30-6:30 p.m. at the RSF Community Center; refreshments will be served.
