Teams of trivia buffs and those who just wanted to have fun gathered at Boulders Conference Center on Saturday night to raise funds for the all-inclusive playground at Washington Park in Denison. The second annual Denison Parks & Rec Trivia Night also encouraged people to dress up according to their favorite decade. Along with the entry fees, a silent auction of 26 items raised funds for the playground.
