On March 12th, the Anna Hurban Chicago District hosted its first young adult event! District members and friends gathered at the Alter Brewing Company in Downers Grove Il for a fun-filled evening of trivia
questions and camaraderie. Trivia was hosted by Alter Brewing, with prizes for the top-scoring teams. The FCSLA young adult team did a great job of collaborating and answering the majority of their questions correctly. The group enjoyed pizza while deliberating their answers, and getting to know each other better. Although they did not place in the final 3 teams, all had a great time and enjoyed this casual, fun event. The Anna Hurban Chicago District thanks everyone who came out for this event and looks forward to hosting more young adult events in the future.
