Highland Knights of Columbus

Trivia Night - January 23

On Friday, January 23, 2026 The Highland Knights of Columbus, Council 1580 present their second annual Community Trivia Night, hosted by Jeff Herman.

Many of the organizations that we have assisted with support are looking for additional ways to earn funds. So, we are providing an opportunity for the organizations that we have partnered with in the past to earn some funds while having a night of FUN at the Community Trivia Night. For every table that registers as being associated with your organization, you will receive a portion of money back to your group. This will be returned to your organization sometime after the event.

The Community Trivia Night will be held at the Knights of Columbus Hall located at 12454 IL Route 143, Highland, IL on January 23, 2026.

Doors open at 6 pm and Trivia begins at 7 pm. There will be cash prizes for 1st place, Mulligans, and a 50/50 Drawing.

You are welcome to bring your own snacks. Drinks must be purchased at the K of C Hall.

The cost is $160 per an 8-person table ($20 per person).
To register, send a check payable to 'Knights of Columbus - Council 1580', along with a list of attendees to:
Dan McCloud
Highland Knights of Columbus
PO Box 195, Highland, IL, 62249
