Winter Trivia Tournament
January 20, 2022 @ 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm
The Pond has hosted Thursday Trivia Challenge for more than a decade, resulting in a database of thousands of questions. We try to keep our Trivia fresh, fun and a bit irreverent. The game begins at 7pm; we encourage teams to come in early for dinner and our HALF PRICE WINE by the bottle special from 5pm to 9pm.
Our Winter Tournament is eight weeks, from January 20, 2022 to March 10, 2022. Each Team’s earned points for the week carry over into a tournament score.
