🐝 Get Ready to Spell, Laugh, and Compete! 🐝
Think you’ve got what it takes to bee the best spellers in town? Gather your team of three (ages 13+) and join us for a night of friendly competition, food, and fun at the Ozarks Literacy Council’s Annual Spelling Bee!
Teams will work together to spell words on a whiteboard — from tricky literacy terms to local lingo and a few surprises thrown in. Each correct word earns a point, and the team with the highest score takes home the bragging rights!
Not ready to spell under pressure? No problem! Buy a spectator ticket and come cheer on the contestants and enjoy the buzz from the audience!

🕕 Time: Doors open at 6:00 PM | Bee starts at 6:30 PM
