Team Trivia

Team Trivia

This is an evening of fun and laughter.

Although not a specific community event, it is very community friendly.

Teams of six to eight are ideal, but can be larger or smaller (note that a team greater than eight is penalized 10 points per person over six). Topics include music, current events, movies, specific themes, and yes, even sports.

Reserving a table is highly recommended because the event is pretty popular and space is limited. Terry G. often coordinates table reservations. Reach out to him if you’d like.

Food and drink are, of course, available for purchase.
