But now, we're adding in a new special prize: whichever team has the highest cumulative point total for every Fall Season Trivia Night (October 5 - December 21*), will receive a special Grand Prize at the end of December!
You don't have to do anything special to register -- just show up each Thursday and use the same team name, so we can keep track of cumulative points.
Can't make it to every Trivia Night, but still want to come every once in a while? Totally fine! You can still come whenever you want - you just probably won't win that Grand Prize ;)
As usual, weekly winners will get a $50 gift card courtesy of our co-hosts at the Glen Ellyn Public Library.
*We will hold a special Tuesday edition of Trivia Night during Thanksgiving week, since we're closed on Thanksgiving Day. Points from that Tuesday edition will not count toward the cumulative point total for Fall League.
