For the second year in a row, the Book Club was crowned the grand champion of the annual Trivia Night event benefitting the Cassville Education Fund. The second place and trivia-only winners were also repeat winners for the third year in a row, the Security Guards.
This year’s Trivia Night was held in the Cassville High School commons area on Friday, March 6, beginning at 7 p.m. Friendly competition ensued and teams had a lot of laughs along the way, as well.
Over 80 people attended this year’s event with teams sponsored by Security Bank, Crowe’s Cronies book club, the Barry-Lawrence Regional Library, Cassville teachers, Commerce Bank, Freedom Bank and First State Bank competing. Teams consisted of up to eight people who answered four rounds of 15 questions each. In addition to the trivia questions, teams could also compete in bonus point games between sessions for an entry fee that benefitted Cassville Schools.
This year’s emcee for the night was Donna Hayes Mallams who read questions in categories that ranged from history and sports to movies and science. Aside from the trivia questions, the games played in between rounds got the teams moving and brought a lot of laughs from the audience.
By the end of the night, the event raised $1,172 for the Cassville Education Fund, which is a permanent endowment fund for the educational needs of the Cassville Schools.
Each year, the overall winner, including bonus points from the games, is crowned, but a special Smarty Pants award is also given to the team who answers the most trivia questions correctly.
