Central Wisconsin Bar & Restaurant Trivia!
It’s time to get your trivia brain ready!
We connected with a bunch of central Wisconsin bars and restaurants and purchased gift cards as a small way to show our support for local businesses. A lot of them had taken a hit during the COVID-19 pandemic, so everything helped! But there’s no way we could eat (and drink!) all that deliciousness ourselves.
So we thought, “Why not share the love?”
Then we thought, “What if we held a casual trivia contest and used the gift cards as prizes?” Folks love good trivia, and it’s a great way to find out new facts about our favorite central Wisconsin businesses.
Every Monday & Wednesday during April and May 2020, we posted a new trivia question about a Wisconsin business on our Facebook and Instagram pages. Everyone posted their answers in the comments on either Facebook or Instagram, and we picked a winner between 5 & 6 pm that day from all the correct answers.
Not only was it a great way to show your knowledge of some of our favorite Wisconsin-based restaurants and bars, but it helped them keep on during these hard times!
