Our second annual Smarty Party went off without a hitch on Saturday night! Six teams and 28 players were vying for the top prize, and bragging rights, as they fought through 8 rounds of trivia. Our fabulous host, Dan Mayfield, made a return appearance as MC and kept the evening moving along. Trivia rounds included: infamous cheaters, gross ingredients in processed foods, real or fake TV shows, and "We are all gonna die!: Contagions, Distasters, and Instruments of Mass Destruction". Probably the toughest round for the participants was the audio round which featured classical covers of famous pop songs. Who would have guessed that U2 is impossible to recognize when played by a symphony? In addition to the fiendishly devilish questions, the teams were alternately informed and quizzed with questions specific to MS.
For the first few rounds of the evening the teams kept things pretty close. By round four two teams started to seperate from the rest: the Suspicious Moles and the Strippers. They exchanged places through the next few rounds, but in the end the Strippers won the prize! Every member got a $40 gift certificate to Scalo Northern Grill, their picture with the Golden Domo, and a fantastic rice crispy Domo (handcrafted by Blythe) for immediate consumption by the winning team! All members of the second place team won $20 in gift certificates to O'Neill's on Central. The rest of the teams, in addition to having a wonderful time, also got Domo cupcakes for participating.
It was a great evening and fun was had by all. We sold out all 10 of our gift bags full of donated prizes by local businesses (see our sponsor page
here). All told we raised about $2000 in the fight against MS!
