As it happens every year, the Greenfield Recreation Department hosts the annual July 4 fireworks; this event is funded by donations and fundraising, not by the city budget. The cost is about $18,000. Our fundraising events this year have included indoor mini-golf in April and a Cornhole Tournament in May. We are grateful for the generous sponsorship from local businesses, and participation from the community. Our June fundraiser is put on by the Friends of Greenfield Recreation.
Please join us at the Greenfield Elk’s Lodge (3 Church St) on Thursday, June 26, 2025, at 5:30 p.m. for a fundraising evening of Trivia with a Twist: “TRIPLE TRIVIA!”
Three categories: Movies, Music, and Motoring! Three answers to each question: What, Who, and When! Three times the fun: Food, Drinks, Cash prize!
How it works: There are three trivia categories, each with nine questions spanning the decades of the 2010s back to the 1930s. Each question has three answers: what, who, when.
Teams get one (1) point for each correct answer, for a maximum of 3 points per question. Most teams will get the “what,” some teams will get the “who,” few will get the “when.” The highest total score possible for the game is 81. Each question will have a two-minute timer before moving on to the next question.
For instance, if the trivia question was Music in the 1960s: “Name the title song from the Beatles’ ground-breaking ‘concept album’ that is named after a fictional quartet; which band member wrote and sang lead on that song; and what year was it originally released,” the correct three answers are at the end of this letter. Before you look, see if you can think of the three correct answers.
Answers: (what) Sgt Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band, (who) Paul McCartney, (when) 1967. Got ‘em all right? That’s 3 points!
We are accepting up to six people per team, with an entry fee of $20 per person. There will be a cash prize of $100 for the winning team. Because some of the questions go all the way back to the 1930s, having a wide age group would work best for your team. There will be dinner available for purchase, and a cash bar for drinks. Come dressed up for July 4th for extra fun. Doors open at 5 p.m.. Make sure to get to the Elk’s lodge early to secure your table and order your food. The fun commences at 5:30 p.m.
