- Family Feud Trivia League - 5 weeks only $35! We'll put you on a team to playThe River Kitchen and Bar, Chicago, IL
Hey all! Check out the new promo video I made for this league! It'll show you how much fun it is and will make you want to sign up right away :) https://youtu.be/GcAlp9lR_QE
We all know Family Feud! The best game show ever right!? I came up with an amazing way to play bar trivia like the Family Feud game show that anyone can play and be good at! You don't have to know lots of random facts to enjoy or win this trivia. This league is a super fun way to meet new people, have some mid-week drinks and get your think on! We take over an entire bar with 24 teams too :) This league ALWAYS fills up so the RSVP # will not reflect the actual size.
You can register online by yourself or with friends for only $35! We'll then put you on a coed team of 6 thinkers around your age for the season and email you a bunch of info to know for the season. Or sign up your own team of up to 6 people for just $170!
CHECK OUT THE FULL DETAILS AND REGISTER HERE: https://s3leagues.com/spring-leagues/thursday-family-feud-trivia
----------------------------
LEAGUE DETAILS:
First Games: Thursday, May 9th
Final Games: Thursday, June 6th
Start/End Time: 7:00 - 9:00 pm
Location: The River Kitchen & Bar (2909 N Sheffield Ave)HOW WE PLAY:
Each night there are 2 rounds of 5 questions. The trivia works in reverse of how traditional Family Feud scoring goes. Teams are given the survey question that people were asked and then you have to turn in only one answer. BUT you get the MOST points for guessing the lowest answer on the list (the one that only a couple people said) and LESS points for guessing the popular answers! So it's a battle between making sure your answer is on the on the list of answers given but as far on the bottom of that list as possible. It's THE BEST kind of trivia ever.We give out really awesome prizes too!! NIGHTLY PRIZES FOR THE TOP 8 TEAMS!!! PLUS INCREDIBLE OVERALL LEAGUE PRIZES!!!
----------------------------
League Fees: Only $35 per person for the entire 5-week season or $170 to register a full team of up to 6 people.

- Our 11th Annual AMAZING River Tubing BYOB Float Trip w/ All You Can Eat Taco BarRiverside Rentals, Winamac, IN
Grab your floaties and coolers and JOIN US on our 11th annual float trip! Hang out with 2 busloads (110 people!) of fun-loving and friendly Meetup folks for THE BEST day trip EVERRRRR!
This trip is an amazing way to get out of the city and onto tubes floating down a river with a drink in hand under the warm summer sun. You just can't beat it :) And these trips sell out REALLY early, so save your spots here right away!
THE TRIP INCLUDES OUR DELICIOUS ALL YOU CAN EAT TACO BAR LUNCH! After a float and some drinks, there's nothing better than chowing down on an all you can eat taco bar lunch! This includes hard and soft shells, ground beef, shredded chicken, lettuce, tomato, shredded cheese, sour cream, rice, and chips & salsa!! Yummmmmmm.
We go on this trip 2 different dates. One on Saturday, July 20th and another on Saturday, August 17th. Sign up for the one that works best for you! They're both a blast.
REGISTER HERE: https://form.jotform.com/61045656205148
It's only $85 to attend! Well actually $88.58 because we have to pay a $3.58 processing fee per ticket. We have a lot of costs to cover which is why the event costs this much, and the cost of our buses went up this year. But trust me, it's worth it for how much fun you'll have this day! It really will be THE BEST day of your summer!
THE TRIP INCLUDES:
- Round trip coach bus transportation. We ride in super nice buses, aka way more expensive, but worth it! They've got bathrooms and TVs (to watch movies there/back!) for a higher level of comfort.
- Your personal float tube. Tubes that hold your cooler can be shared and purchased for $10 cash upon arrival. Each cooler tube can hold 2 large standard sized coolers so you can share with others.
- Lunch. ALL YOU CAN EAT taco bar when we get out of the river after floating.
The event in a nutshell:
- Show up to the bus with your own BYOB cooler and snacks.
- We drive ~2 hours into Indiana watching movies, then arrive at the river and float with Riverside Rentals.
- Grab our tubes and float/drink/chat/relax for ~3 hours.
- Get out of the river and chow down on all you can eat tacos.
- Board the bus and head back to sweet home Chicago!
The Schedule:
*All times are listed in Chicago time (Central Standard Time)9:15 am SHARP - Buses Depart Chicago
(meet on the NW corner of Sheffield and Fullerton, you'll see big coach buses and we'll check you in)12:00 pm - Buses arrive at the river and we float!
3:30 pm - Float ends at the tubing place, get out, eat lunch, freshen up and finish your drinks.
4:30-5:00 pm - Head back to Chicago
(drop off at the same place we started the day)~6:30-7:00 pm - Arrive in Chicago
REGISTER HERE: https://form.jotform.com/61045656205148
A COUPLE FINAL THINGS:
- You can leave anything you'd like on the bus while we're floating. They'll be locked and waiting for us right when we get out.
- No hard liquor allowed. No exceptions. No glass containers.
- Drinking alcohol isn't allowed on the bus rides.
- DO NOT sign up for this trip if you plan to get drunk. We will all get a nice buzz going on the trip but don't need anyone being irresponsible.
I look forward to enjoying the day with everyone! Please send me a message if you have any questions at all.
Cheers,
Ben
