It may have been a hot August day, but there were 300 cool, enthusiastic players for Trivia Night, conducted by the Robson Ranch Trivia Club. It’s always exciting to witness the fun-loving fellowship in the ballroom, including the excitement 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: The team The Right Stuff took first place, winning a $50 gift card for each member. Team Quizzaros earned second place, with each member winning a $25 gift card. The team Risky Quizness was in third place, receiving $20 gift cards.

Thanks to all the participants, a donation from the evening event was made to Cumberland Youth & Family Services in Denton.

Here are three trivia questions from the August event. Answers are listed at the end of this article.

Our next game night for 2024 will be held on Thursday, Nov. 14. We will announce the ticket sales date through the Robson Ranch HOA Clubs & Activities email, the HOA Message Board, and the Facebook and Nextdoor RR-only social media sites. We invite you to join us for an evening of fun!

The Trivia Club, formed in 2022, continues with new officers for 2024. Volunteers from the Kiwanis Club of Robson Ranch support the Trivia Club to help run the program. Special recognition and thanks to Marci and Rance Malcom who worked to automate the scoring system and slideshow, making the game much more enjoyable.
