An evening of great food, wonderful wine, festive music and ... Trivia Mafia! All to raise funds for the Benedictine Sisters of St. Paul's Monastery.
Trivia Mafia began in 2007, quickly grew, and was soon dubbed "the best bar trivia in Minneapolis." Trivia Mafia asks questions about everything under the sun. Pop culture, history, geography, science, even wordplay and puzzles--we will even have a Benedictine Round! This will be the final night to view and bid on the Silent Auction!
