The Oklahoma Museums Association is organizing a fantastic event for Oklahoma’s brilliant museums professionals. The smARTies trivia night will be on Friday, September 10 at the National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum in Oklahoma City.

At the event, teams will face off in exciting rounds of gameshow-style trivia. Colleagues from the same organization can play on the same team, or there will be additional teams to mix up guests from different institutions. Winners go home with official smARTies trophies and exclusive bragging rights.

The doors open at 6 pm and the game starts at 7 pm. The event will wrap up at 10 pm. Tickets for the evening are $25 per person. To join the fun, register online at https://okmuseums.ejoinme.org/MyPages/smARTiesregistration/tabid/221057/Default.aspx by Wednesday, September 1.  The evening will also include a wine pull and silent auction.

It is going to be a ton of fun for our museum colleagues to network in a casual setting.  The evening’s meal will be prepared at the Cowboy & Western Heritage Museums’ café. The menu focuses on finger foods including marinated cheese cubes, parmesan chicken tenders, roast beef and pulled pork sliders. Brownies and chocolate covered pretzels will also be served. The meal price is included in the event ticket.
