Gather your friends and family to form a team and get ready to challenge other tables throughout the night in a battle of wits and words. Our esteemed Master of Ceremonies, Peter Sokolowski, Editor in Chief of Merriam-Webster Dictionary, will guide you through a series of thought-provoking questions that span realms of language, history, and local lore.

Throughout the evening, teams can earn points and compete for the coveted title of trivia champion. Exciting prizes await the tables that come out on top during the final round, so bring your A-game and be prepared to showcase your knowledge!

In addition to the trivia competition, each guest will enjoy a bountiful meal prepared by the chefs at Pond House Café. The evening's menu will include a variety of hors d'oeuvres, pasta dishes, dinner entrees, dessert, coffee, soda, and open beer & wine bar. 

Auction items will be on display throughout the evening and bidding will be accessible online with your smartphone- we'll help you with this at the event :)
