Music buffs will want to assemble at the Napanee Legion on April 19 at 6 p.m. for Name That Tune Trivia Night in support of Hospice Lennox and Addington.
As the name suggests, teams will be challenged to identify song names after hearing a short clip. Those that get the most correct will be deemed the winner.
Hosted by Jamie Cybulski of MyFM and Dave Pinnell Jr. of Century 21, the event is an extension of the former Longest Day of Golf fundraiser. That popular annual event saw the duo tee off at sunrise at the Napanee Golf and County Club with the intent of playing as many holes of golf as possible, all while taking proceeds for Hospice. That event ceased during the pandemic, but now returns in a slightly different form.
“When we were doing the Longest Day of Golf we were never really thinking it was going to be going as long as it did,” said Pinnell Jr., who noted their record was 192 holes played in a day. “Then all of a sudden we thought maybe if we could do it for 10 years, that would be fantastic. We ended up doing it for eight and then COVID hit.”
During the height of Longest Day of Golf they added an additional trivia night to raise some extra funds for the cause. That too was put on hold during the pandemic-until now.
“There’s a lot of people that were asking us for this all the time. We thought this is the year to do it, people are asking again, so let’s do it,” said Pinnell Jr. “With Jamie being from MyFM he’s got access to making the trivia very hard. There’s going to be so easy ones, but there’s going to be some tricky ones as well. It’s going to be fun for all.”
There will be four rounds with 10 questions, followed by five bonus questions.
The entry fee is $20 per person and there are four people per team.
“The money stays here within the community with Hospice Lennox and Addingtion,” said Pinnell Jr. “There’s donated prizes for the first and second place team and last as well. We can’t forget about the most honest team.”
Along with trivia there will be a 50/50 draw, snacks and a cash bar.
