started its weekly trivia and bingo contests this past summer.
Restaurant co-owner Troy Rassmussen said the decision was a no-brainer.
"It's something that's cool and hip. Everybody likes it," he said. "It resonates
with what we're trying to do here." He said Lake Gaston aims to create a
comfortable, fun and family-friendly neighborhood atmosphere. Trivia goes
right along with that, he said.
Lake Gaston uses Half-Witted Entertainment to host its weekly trivia nights.
Keith Fisher, the company owner, is also a popular host, who also works the
Dirtbag Ales contests on Sundays. e members of the Ale Yeahs appreciate his
humor and his ability to take a joke.
"He loves to be heckled and we love to heckle," said team member Heather
Scarboro.
Rassmussen said when Lake Gaston decided to hold trivia nights, it wanted to
avoid conflicts with other nearby businesses. But its trivia nights ended up being
scheduled the same night as those at Bright Light Brewing Co., also downtown.
"It's been OK," Rassmussen said. "ere's plenty of trivia to go around."
