I tried my hardest, but was unable to get a Herald News team together for Morris police's "Trivia Mania" this Saturday. I'm still trying to add myself to someone else's team, but I will be there regardless covering the fundraiser.
This is an annual event Morris police does to raise money for Illinois Special Olympics. It begins at 7 p.m. Saturday at the Morris Municipal Airport on Illinois 47.
There is still a little room left for those of you interested in forming a team, but forms need to be in by the end of tomorrow so hurry up! Entry forms are required and it is $20 per person or $160 a table. Teams are of 8 people.
Call Chief Brent Dite to get signed up at (815) 942-6503, Sgt. Scott Henderson (815) 941-6281 or Patrolman Steve Huettemann at (815) 942-2131.
Many teams dress in theme, Dite said, and all are invited to bring snacks for the night.
I'm hoping to see a great turnout and I promise to cheer for everyone! And if raising money for a good cause isn't enough . . . there also is a chance I will put your picture in the paper.
