Spell-ebration 2012

Put Spell-ebration 2012 down in the history books! Last Friday, March 9, the Kelso Theater Pub was alive with costumed spellers, their enthusiastic supporters, Altrusans, costumed bees and a giant dog. What a fun night!! Thanks for all the support from our great sponsors and the community.Of course, it helps when it's a FUN fundraiser.

Our first place team this year was "The Queen Bees," representing the County Clerk's Office:  Beverly Little, Sheryl Moul and Leah Iverson. The battle for 2nd and 3rd places waged on for quite a while, but eventually the "Rightway Bees" claimed 2nd: Kari Pearson, Carl Wirkkala, and Dot Com, and 3rd went to "Totally Trendy" - Sarah Strain, Karen Case, & Michael Cowan. Good spellers, all!

There was lots of other fun. Best Cotume Award went to "Bee S.A.F.E." (Emergency Support Shelter); Best Name to "Ole Spellas" (Pioneer Lions); Most Creative Spellers were "Rightway Bees" (Rightway RV); and Best Team Spirit was awarded to the "Windermere Wordsmiths" (Windermere Real Estate).
