Annual Adult Spelling Bee

The Havelock Chamber of Commerce Annual Spelling Bee is right around the corner.

How does it work? Teams of 4 will spell words in three rounds (easy, intermediate and difficult). Each round will consist of 20 minutes. The pronouncer, Tom Braaten, will call out a word and use it in a sentence. Your four person team decides on the spelling and writes it on a sheet that is provided. The judge determines if the word is spelled correctly. As long as your team spells correctly, you're in the game. OOPS! Did you miss one? No worries, you can buy it with a bee buck and stay in the contest until the final round or you run out of bee bucks!
Do you have to be a teacher or a school to participate? NO! Challenge a competitor, rival or friend to see who can stay in the contest the longest. Call the Havelock Chamber Office at (252) 447-1101 for an application or any questions.
 
Proceeds from the Annual Adult Spelling Bee are donated to each participating school.

LOOKING FOR VOLUNTEERS! We need a time keeper, judges, and folks to sell bee bucks! If you are interested, please email stephanie@havelockchamber.org .
