What is the Loyal Order of Moose?
The Loyal Order of Moose, or “The Moose,” is a fraternal organization that began in 1888 with the founding of the first Moose lodge in Louisville, Kentucky. They would use membership dues to help members and their families during hard times, especially those of the working class. What started as a way for men to get together and fellowship, quickly became so much more!
Today, the club provides services to both young and older members of local communities, with a focus on Mooseheart Child City & School for Children and Moosehaven, a retirement community for the elderly. Now you can find local lodges from Great Britain, the US, and across Canadian provinces.
What is a Moose Lodge?
So what is a Moose Lodge? A Moose Lodge is your local chapter of Moose International. The lodge serves as the social hub for members to get together and host local events. Lodges help raise money for their local communities. Most Moose Lodges in the US today host frequent events for Moose members to come together, make plans, and work on community service projects.
What Type of Entertainment is Good For Moose Lodge Events?
Because lodges have frequent meetings and events, there’s usually some form of entertainment for everyone to enjoy. From Moose Lodge bingo night to corn hole tournaments, entertainment is a common thread in Moose fraternity gatherings. Let’s look at some of the best forms of entertainment to choose from for your next Moose Lodge event.
Throw Sports Tournaments
Hosting a sports tournament is a great idea for your next lodge event. You could host poker, darts, cornhole, dodgeball, pool, or horseshoes indoors. You can serve drinks, have a few snacks, and get a little bit of friendly competition going.
Hire a Live Band for Dancing
Hire a live band and get everyone out on the dance floor! You can hire a cover band for a certain era: 60’s doo-wop, 80’s metal, or 90’s alternative rock. Host a dance contest to raise money, and charge everyone $5 to enter.
Book a Comedian for Big Belly Laughs
Your next event could be a live comedy show! Comedy is universal entertainment. Clean comedy is family-friendly. At The Comedian Company, we have thousands of hilarious, clean comedians with experience performing stand-up at fraternal organizations and clubs. A comedy show is a quick and easy setup, too; all you need is a microphone, and your entertainment is ready to rock!
Hire a Magician to Wow Guests
Another awesome entertainment idea for a Moose Lodge event is to hire a professional magician. Magicians are great for smaller, intimate groups, as they can walk around and perform magic while your guests mingle, or perform a big show at the front of the room. Magic shows are also great for families, fundraisers, and attracting new potential members. The Comedian Company’s magicians can keep your guests entertained during the whole event or serve as an icebreaker.
