The Robson Ranch clubhouse ballroom was again alive with 300 enthusiastic Trivia players for the May Trivia Night conducted by the Robson Ranch Trivia Club. It was exciting to witness the fun-loving and competitive atmosphere in the ballroom, with races to turn in answers and celebrations at the tables when the correct answer is given! We awarded nearly $2,000 in prizes to individuals and entire tables. Prizes included gift cards to the Wildhorse Grill and Visa gift cards.
The winning top three teams were as follows: Taking first place was Frosted Flakes with 90 points, and, yes, they brought a big box of Frosted Flakes for good luck, winning a $50 gift card for each member. Trivial Matters landed in second place with 86 points, with each member winning a $25 gift card. The Skull Crushers also scored 86 points but earned third place after two rounds of tiebreaker questions. They received $20 gift cards. Congratulations to all!
Thanks to all the participants, a donation from the evening event was made to the Rainbow Room and the Refuge for Women! Both organizations provide vital services to those in need in difficult situations.
The team names continue to be creative: Jeopardy Rejects, Dazed and Confused, and We Thought This Was Speed Dating!
