Trivia Night in the Gathering Room

You could feel tensions rising as 5 tables of Kendalites battled for goodies at Trivia Night: the Smarty Pants, Hamsters of the Hudson, the Trivets, the Broncos, and Team A. All teams mustered 8 players each, except the 3 members of Team A, who decided to slug it out with the big guys, anyway. Ellen Ottstadt and Marian Dunn were the MCs, asking questions ranging from softballs like “Who wrote Pride and Prejudice?” to the more challenging “Who was the female rock-and-roll singer who garnered the most Grammys?” Hayley Gibson kept score during the brutal competition. And the winner — by one point— was The Trivets!
