The Moyhu Primary School community are looking forward to their "Christmas in July" trivia night which will be held at the school on Saturday, 19 July.

All are welcome to get a team together, embrace the seasonal theme by wearing a fun Christmas jumper, Christmas hat or their favourite Christmas decorations and join the fun, with a delicious, pot-luck dinner included in the ticket price.

There will also be a raffle and extra games on the night, where there is expected to be plenty of laughs and friendly competition.

Moyhu Primary School council president Bec Hansted said they encouraged everyone to get involved and register a team of eight to 10, or individuals and couples can let the school know if they would like to join a table.

She said funds raised will go directly towards school camps and excursions.

"We'd also like to say thank you to everyone who supported our annual wood raffle," she said.

"We're excited to share that first prize went to the Moyhu Lions Club, who have kindly donated the wood to a well-deserving local."

The second prize winner in the wood raffle was Stef Mierzwa and third prize went to Kelli Paranihi, with organisers thanking Dave Allen for generously donating the trailer of wood, and Wangaratta Wholefoods and Madem Espresso, who provided vouchers for third prize.

The school's original wood chopping day in June had to be postponed due to wet weather, but the loads are expected to be delivered in time to warm up the lucky households in July.

A number of local businesses and organisations are also generously supporting the trivia night, which will add to the excitement.

The event will be an opportunity to meet and socialise with other parents and friends of the school, with dinner to be shared from 6pm before the first question is asked at 7pm.

The cost is $20 per person for pre booked tickets which includes dinner (drinks at bar prices) or it will be $25 at the door, available by calling 5727 9298 during school hours, or call/text 0424 996 147.

It is free for kids to attend, with a movie and popcorn to be provided in a separate supervised space.
