This isn't your kids' spelling bee!
Join us on Saturday, February 21st, for the Friends of the Ohio County Public Library's Spelling Bee for Grown-ups Fundraiser! (Note: While our participants will all be grown-ups, our Bee will not include profane words.)
The Spelling Bee for Grown-ups will feature up to 15 pre-registered teams of 2 to 6 adults attempting to spell words with varying degrees of difficulty.
Team Registration is $100 (per team, not per person!) - Make sure to answer the question and include your team name & team captain.
Not sure of your spelling skills? Buy a general admission ticket for just $10 and watch the fun. Your admission ticket also includes a FOCPL membership!
Audience members are invited to cheer on the spellers and maybe even help out their favorite team by purchasing a "skip a word" and "spell again" option. Sound like fun? It's un-bee-lievably entertaining and all for a good cause!
We will have baskets to bid on as well as drinks, sandwiches, and snacks to purchase. Tacet Coffee will also be on hand to vend their tasty drinks!
DOORS OPEN AT 11:30!
