Revenge of the Trivia Night!
Back by popular demand, it's MCC's Trivia Night!
The event was a huge hit when it was held in the spring, and it looks as though many of the same teams will be returning this time around. Everyone is looking to topple last spring's winners, the Tech-Know Geeks out of our Information Technology Department, seen here basking in their victorious, but fleeting glory:
MCC Fall Trivia Night is going to be held on Friday, November 6, beginning at 7 p.m. in the Bedford Campus Cafeteria. The entry fee is $40 per team, payable ot the door prior to the start of the event. Proceeds from the event will support the MCC Foundation's Annual Fund. Gather a team of 4 to 8 players, or register as a solo free agent. The event is open all all MCC faculty, staff, students and alumni as well as the local community.
Teams are encouraged to dress creatively to distract their opponents and to bring cleverly themed tables decorations, soft drinks, and culinary treats. Take a look at last spring's winner for most festive table and costumes:
The winning team gets bragging rights and a trophy that goes on display in MCC's trophy case. There will also be a sports memorabilia silent auction just in time for holiday shopping, and a 50/50 raffle.
