WARSAW — Tri Kappa Trivia Night 2023 — the third in a yearly series — was a lively evening that ended in a tie between the 2021 and 2022 Tri Kappa Trivia champions, the Graybeards from Warsaw and Wawasee schools, and an upstart challenger team from Lake City Bank.
Held on Saturday evening, Nov. 4, at the Roost at Creighton’s Crazy Egg Café in Warsaw, the event drew a sell-out crowd of nearly 150 players. Trivia questions ranged across multiple topics, including movies, sports and geography. The event also featured food, a 50/50 raffle and games. Proceeds from the Tri Kappa fundraiser benefit community organizations and fund scholarships for area students.
“We’re delighted to host such a fun evening that has been growing each year,” said Vicky Decker, co-chair of Tri Kappa Trivia. “Even better, we’re able to support local organizations and students right here in town.”
After fierce competition and overtime questions, the evening ended in a tie. The Graybeards, led by Dan Wray, captured one of the winning spots. They tied with an upstart team from Lake City Bank, led by Don Robinson-Gay. Both teams said they were planning on a rematch in 2024.
Tri Kappa is a philanthropic organization founded in 1909 and dedicated to supporting the arts, education and charity in local communities. Tri Kappa has awarded scholarships since 1914, to students at the local, province and state levels.
