Over ten and a half years. Over twenty percent of my life. Countless hours with innumerable friends. The end of an era.
When Leya and I walked into Native Grill and Wings on Wednesday, November 4th, 2015, to host the first Native Game Night, we had no idea of the massive blessing in store for us, or how long it would last.
But through the vision of the Native owners and staff, along with the endless support of the Native Game Night Universe, we changed the game of what a “local trivia night” could be. It literally became a worldwide phenomenon, as the Native certificate made it to all seven continents for photos and videos, thanks to the incomparable Native Game Night Universe.
And as this chapter came to a close tonight, over three dozen teams were in it to win it one last time. Thank you to everyone who was there tonight to share one last Native Game Night. And for the record, the thumbnail photo is the final Native Game Night championship team, “Talk Nerdy To Me,” with 72 points.
Special thanks to for being tonight’s wildcard sponsor, and helping a handful of teams win! For the best dog grooming in Cochise County, be sure to contact Lucy! And to the entire Lara family, thank you for your support all these years!
Also, thank you to our greatest wildcard sponsor, for giving tonight’s winners gift cards to use at the Grateful Goods market - the June markets will be Saturday the 13th and Saturday the 26th! Please be sure to follow them and stop their vendor market in June!
Speaking of June, I know what you are wondering, and it was announced tonight that starting Wednesday, June 24th, at 6:30pm, our Family Feud style trivia night will have a new home at Please mark your calendar and plan to join us as we begin the next chapter.
We say it every post, but as always, thank you to everyone who joined the final Native Game Night tonight. We are beyond grateful for your love, friendship and support, and we hope to see you on June 24th at Doc’s.
Much love and endless thanks for the last ten and a half years,
Jeff & Leya
