WPR's Wisco Spelling Bee at The Pump House

The WPR Wisco Spelling Bee is a spelling showdown featuring the hardest-to-spell people, places and things from around the Badger State. Whether you want to test your knowledge as a contestant or cheer from the sidelines as a spectator, get ready for a night of spelling and laughs.

With WPR’s Rob Ferrett, co-host of "Wisconsin Today," as our official pronouncer and local word gurus as judges, contestants will battle head-to-head to become the Southwestern Wisconsin Wisco Spelling Bee Champion! Catch the Wisco Spelling Bee at The Pump House Regional Arts Center on April 8, at 6 p.m. Register today as a contestant, or if you’d rather just provide moral support, register as a spectator! This event is free and open to the public.
