The trivia competition features teams of eight members competing in eight interesting categories of ten questions each. Prizes for first, second and third place are awarded and the winners’ team name is engraved on the Trivia Winners Plaque.
23rd Annual TRIVIA will be held on APRIL 5, 2025 at
Thousand Hills Resort Hotel
