Halloween Trivia Night
Tis the season for haints, spirits, and haunted trivia night. The scream team of the McSpooky Center and the Scare-itage Alliance are back again for Halloween Trivia Night. Join us on October 24 for a frighteningly fun Halloween Trivia contest with questions to test your knowledge of all things ghostly, strange, macabre, and historical!
The festivities will take place on Friday, October 24, at 7 p.m. at the McKinney Center with Halloween-themed trivia questions, friendly competition, a costume contest and a ton of fun! Not a “history buff?” No reason to fear! These questions cover a wide range of topics and categories and include something for everyone. Main Street Café will be set up to sell a terrifying assortment of beers, and this year, you can place a dinner order with The Opossum’s Tale pub on Fox Street. You can call The Opossum’s Tale at 423.788.6782 and place an order by 5 p.m. on game day. They’ll bring your order up to the McKinney Center by 6:30 p.m., how frightfully delicious.
It’s only $8.00 per person to play. (Admission price does not include beer or food.) Tickets are available online at Jonesborough.com/tickets. Solo play is allowed. Teams are encouraged, but the person limit per team is 8 people. Please enter your team’s name in the comments when purchasing your tickets if you know it. Heritage Alliance and McKinney Center staff will host the event, tallying points and administering prizes to the winners. The event is family-friendly and open to all ages. The costume contest will occur during intermission. Dress up and try to win a prize!
