At last week’s Carmi Rotary Club meeting, the Rotary’s annual Trivia Night was a main topic.
. This year’s event will be a little earlier than usual due to a scheduling conflict. The Fall event will be held on Saturday, October 28th at the American Legion on Oak Street in Carmi. The first question will be asked at 6:00pm and the night should wrap up around 8:00pm.
As in year’s past, the cost for a four-person team is only forty dollars, and can be paid the night of the contest. There will be four rounds of ten questions each, with the questions getting harder and the point totals increasing in each round. The questions will cover such topics as: History, pop culture, the Bible, food, language, geography and a few more thrown in for good measure. There is even going to be a surprise category this year!
There will be plenty of food and drinks on hand, provided by the Rotary club.
The club has a goal of finally hitting the sixteen team mark this year. Twice in the past there have been fourteen teams on hand, so it is not a big stretch to reach the goal. If you’ve played in the past, by all means plan on being on-hand this year. If you’ve never played, you are missing out on a great night of fun and a chance to win some cash. The first place team will have $100, second place nets $60, and third place gets their entry fee back with $40.
Teams can be made up of any group of four people: Families, coworkers, neighbors, friends, church members, politicians, you name it, you can form a team out of it.
Help the Carmi Rotary club hit that sixteen-team goal – and more!
By the way, the Rotary Club pointed out this is the Saturday before Halloween and contestants are invited to “come dressed in your favorite Halloween costume.”
