The family has gathered in Wichita for the holidays, old friends are back in town, or you’re just getting a little bored and you’re wondering what’s there to do.
We’ve got the answer! Join The Voice and friends on Black Friday for a game of Black Trivia. The fun will be held Fri., Nov. 29, from 7 to 9 p.m., at Harvester Arts at the Lux, 120 E. 1st St. Old timers will remember the location as the old KG&E building in downtown Wichita.
We promise you don’t need to be a Black history expert to win. There will be all levels of questions that people, young and old, young and old, will be able to answer. You may not know all the answers, but a reasonable team of players should be able to answer a lot of the questions in each round.
Here’s how it works. We suggest you play as a team of four, but you can bring a bigger or a smaller team. If you like, we can match you with other players to form a team. A team of four is ideal since we’re planning prizes for teams of four.
Play starts at 7 p.m., but doors open at 6:30 p.m.
We’ll play as many rounds of 10 questions as we can fit in. We’re estimating four rounds. There will be prizes given to the winners of each round. Yes, you can win multiple rounds, but the big prize will be bragging rights.
It will be a fun hype evening with music by Pioneer DJ Don in The Mixx. There will be a bar with drinks where you’ll be asked to make a donation. Note, the drinks aren’t free. We expect you to make a donation, with the funds going to benefit the programs of Harvester Arts. Because alcohol will be sold, this is not an event for children, so leave the kids at home.
Grandma and grandpa will find this event enjoyable and you may find them an asset for answers to some of the older school questions. Hope you got the picture, this is a grown-folks- of-the-family event.
Another option, it’s a great event for your friends who are all back in town for the holiday.
And it’s affordable. Admission is just $15. Tickets can be purchased online at www.communityvoiceks.com/black-trivia-night-2024 or use this short link https://bit.ly/3OjLBxb. We encourage people to purchase tickets in advance. Credit and debit cards will not be accepted at the door.
Trivia is growing in popularity across the country, but Black people are often challenged to do well when the questions include a mix of questions on country or classical music and other questions that don’t align with our culture. This is an event all about OUR culture.
Come on out and have fun.
