Question: Do you know where "Breisterville" once was in Fond du Lac ?

Curious? Then Team Trivia 2024 is for you. It will be held Tuesday, April 9 and Thursday, April 11 at 6:30 pm. each evening at Whispering Springs Golf Club. The fun, 24th-annual event is a fundraiser for Fond du Lac Literacy Services.

Anyone can play Team Trivia, where teams of four put their heads together to answer questions on movies, music, sports, history, literature, geography, science and Wisconsin trivia. Gift certificates will be awarded to members of the top-3 teams each evening, but everyone wins because the event supports a very worthy cause: adult literacy.

Want to improve your chances to win? Purchase an answer voucher, which can be used on a question when your team is stumped. A team can have just one, and it must be purchased before the game begins, so teams must choose wisely! A voucher may be purchased with your registration.

Team registration is $120 and is due March 29. Sign-in begins at 5 p.m., as does the meal that may be purchased separately, and the quizzing begins at 6:30 p.m.

Team Trivia is supported by its platinum sponsors: Congregation of Sisters of St. Agnes, CD Smith Construction, Kondex, and Grande Cheese Company.
