Members look to test IQs at MPI-CAC Trivia Night

For those who know how much the human head weighs or can name all five members of New Kids On The Block in chronological order, MPI-CAC’s annual Trivia Night will be right up their alley.

For those who’d rather Google their answers, the event also features a night filled with networking, a raffle and silent auction.

“This is a highly attended event and is a chapter favorite,” said Kim Funk, director and co-chair of Trivia Night. “We are so excited to see what people will do with the ‘As-Seen-On-TV’ theme.

“Costumes, props, and table décor is always encouraged for this event!”

The theme is a nod to the late night infomercial products - such as Shamwows and Snuggies – made famous through marketing and product performance.

Four-person and eight-person teams are welcome. Individuals are also welcome and will be added to a team prior to the event.

Teams are also encouraged to dress with the theme and decorate their tables to match to be eligible for the Best Team Spirit Award.

Trivia Night is scheduled for 5-9 p.m. Tuesday, Aug. 6, at Navy Pier Aon Grand Ballroom, 600 E. Grand Ave., Chicago.

Past Trivia Night events have sold out, so advanced registration is encouraged.
