Annual event benefitting Education Fund set for March 17
After a two-year hiatus, trivia buffs will be able to battle it out at the Trivia Night fundraiser benefitting the Cassville Education Fund.
Cassville’s newest champions of trivia will be crowned after a spirited competition on March 17 at the Cassville High School commons. The informal evening of fun and games begin at 7 p.m.
The defending overall champions from 2020, The Malcontents (otherwise known as the Ellis & Cupps Law Office Team) will battle other teams to see who has the greatest trivia knowledge.
Topics include everything from sports, history, geography, literature, pop culture, movies and music, to food and nature. This is a team competition where team members discuss each question and agree upon a single answer that is written on their answer sheet.
Four rounds of trivia questions will be held. While the scores of each round are being tallied, team members will be able to participate in optional bonus point competitions.
The overall champions will be the team that has correctly answered the most number of questions and earned the most bonus points. The winners have their team name engraved on a traveling trophy. In addition to the overall champions, the Smarties Award will be given to the team that has the highest number of correct trivia question answers.
Dessert and refreshments will be available throughout the evening.
Friends, church groups, co-workers, clubs and trivia buffs are encouraged to form their own teams with up to eight members.
Individuals can participate as well and will be assigned to a pickup team the night of the event.
Entrance fees are $15 per player or $120 per team. Optional bonus point games are $15 per team. To guarantee a Cassville Education Fund Trivia Night spot in the competition, participants should pre-register at the Cassville Area Chamber of Commerce office, located at 504 Main Street, or call 417-847-2814. Spectators may observe the fun for a $5 per person admission fee.
