This is NOT a boring old spelling bee. Come have fun and learn a little!
Do you scoff at spellcheck? Peaked in 5th grade as spelling champ? Or choked on an easy word in an early round? Your chance at redemption is October 10 at 7PM at The Bend Theater in Downtown West Bend, hosted by the West Bend Library staff. Doors open at 6PM.
The bar and concessions will be open, and this is a family-friendly event. Attendees of all ages will have the opportunity to compete spelling Wisconsin-themed words during intermission.
The winner will receive a prize and total glory plus a sense of superiority.
REGISTRATION REQUIRED FOR SPELLERS. Contact Meghan at manderson@westbendlibrary.org or the information desk to register to compete.
It's back by popular demand!
