PUTNAM — After closing out 2016 with its biggest Trivia Night fund-raiser yet, the Quinebaug Valley Regional Rotaract Club recently kicked off 2017 by awarding the event’s championship trophy to Archambault Insurance Associates. 
Held in November, the fourth-annual Trivia Night raised more than $6,500 to benefit the Rotaract Club’s scholarship program, which offers financial support to community-minded students. With a crowd of more than 150 people gathered, Trivia Night featured competition among 15 teams each comprised of eight players. The event’s sponsors included bankHometown, as well as Putnam Bank and Wheelabrator Technologies.
Woodstock Academy also supported the event by donating more than 200 cupcakes, prepared by their Pastry & Baking students. Paul Pikora of Archambault Insurance, Romeo Blackmar of Putnam PRIDE, and Gary and Karen Osbrey of WINY Radio also reprised their volunteer roles as scorekeeper, timekeeper, trivia jockey, and trivia master, respectively. 
The Archambault Insurance team “The Competitive Raters” claimed first place with 27,800 points, after heading into the final round in seventh place. The Archambault Insurance team generously donated the competition’s $500 grand prize back to the Rotaract Club.
The Killingly-Brooklyn Rotary Club won second place with 19,000 points, and third place went to the Quinebaug Valley Community College faculty and staff team, which donated its $100 prize back to the Rotaract Club. 
Other participating local businesses and groups included Byrnes Agency, Killingly-Brooklyn Rotary, Putnam Rotary, Day Kimball Healthcare, Jewett City Savings Bank, bankHometown, Putnam Bank, The Arc Quinebaug Valley, faculty and student teams from Quinebaug Valley Community College, Archambault Insurance Associates, Woodstock Academy, and several friends-and-family-teams.
