Scenes from Trivia Night

Last Friday’s trivia night fundraiser to support the preservation of the Mullanphy Emigrant Home and eventual development of a world-class hostel at Mullanphy was a great success with 34 tables participating.   The following are just a few shots from the crowd of supporters, including many Old North residents and friends of Mullanphy, who came out to enjoy an evening of fun in support of a worthy cause.
