Last Thursday evening, the upstairs room at Springfield Brewing Company turned everyday ad folks into Jeopardy-like trivia competitors! Six rounds of questions ranging from local restaurant logo identification to music used in advertisements to product and service slogans to advertising industry acronyms – and more – brought together the 10th annual Ad Club Ad Trivia Competition.

Teams included KOLR, KSFX, KY3, Clear Channel, St. John’s and a new competitor dpi (Digital Print Ink). Special thanks to dpi for joining in on the fun! But, when the dust settled, the St. John’s team came out ahead. Well, it was actually the “St. John’s – Tracker Marine Group – KSMU/OPTV – Marlin – Palmisano Marketing” team. Members included: Chuck Clore, Eric Ray, Linda Palmisano, Barb McMeekin, Karen and John Braun, Amy Tuggle and Jill Fannin.

We offer a huge round of thanks to the event coordinator and emcee extraordinaire, Kat Morgan-Gaines. And, too Brett Piper, Anna Bolt-Ezell and Jay Nicholson!

A new twist of offering extra points to teams contributing non-perishable food items for Ozarks Food Harvest was a huge success. We netted three large boxes of food to donate! Thank you!

Tune in next spring to see who walks away with the giant 6-foot traveling trophy. It could be your team!
