DOWNERS GROVE, IL – The South East Association for Special Parks And Recreation (SEASPAR) hosted its 5th annual Trivia Challenge fundraiser on Friday, October 21, 2016 at the American Legion Post 80 in Downers Grove, Ill.

More than 220 SEASPAR supporters tested their trivia skills at the event, answering questions about pop culture, politics, history, and science, plus playing a delicious round of “Name That Jelly Belly.” The winning team correctly answered 63 of 80 questions and won a $500 prize, which they generously donated back to SEASPAR.
