3 reasons why you should sign up a team (or sponsor) for Jefferson’s Trivia Night
Jefferson’s Trivia Game Night: Game Show Edition (organized by the Bell Tower Festival committee) is more than just a fun night out. It’s one of the key fundraisers that helps bring the carnival rides back to the Bell Tower Festival. And if you’ve ever watched kids sprint toward those rides in June, you know why that matters.
If you’ve been on the fence about registering a team or becoming a sponsor, here are three good reasons why you should sign up. :)
It’s not ~just~ trivia
This isn’t sit-quietly-and-write-your-answers trivia. Teams of four will rotate through interactive rounds inspired by popular game shows, including “The Masked Singer” featuring local talent and more. It’s high energy, a little chaotic in the ~best~ way, and designed to keep everyone involved.
Not a trivia person? There’s also a puzzle competition happening at the same time. Teams of four will race to complete a 500-piece puzzle, plus tackle a large food item and a 48-ounce team beverage.
Was that convincing enough? The link is below. :)
2. It’s a fun night out!
Before the games begin, enjoy a meal from 5:00 to 6:30 pm provided by HyVee and the Pork Producers. Think smoked Iowa pork chops, Hy-Vee sides, and gourmet cupcakes.
There will also be an online silent auction available throughout the event, so you can browse and bid while the games are happening.
3. You’re supporting one of Jefferson’s favorite traditions
The focus of the night is simple: raising funds to cover the high cost of carnival rides at the Bell Tower Festival. Those rides are a highlight for families every June. This fundraiser helps make sure they return this year!
Why it matters
When you register a $100 team or purchase a meal ticket, you’re directly helping support a tradition that thousands of people look forward to!
Those rides aren’t small expenses, but they’re a big part of what makes the festival special for families. This event helps ensure that tradition continues!
Want to support at a deeper level?
Sponsorship opportunities are available at $500, $1,000, and $2,500+ levels. Sponsors receive perks such as meal tickets, team registration, and social media recognition depending on the level selected.
It’s a great way for businesses and individuals to show visible support for one of Jefferson’s biggest community traditions.
