The popular spelling bee returns for a third year! It costs $25 to compete and $10 to watch; all proceeds go directly to the ACES Education Fund. Tickets for spectators will be available at the door and we'll have a cash bar. The judges will include Kory Stamper, lexicographer at Merriam-Webster and our keynote speaker and Corrie Loeffler, the program manager for the, ahem, Scripps National Spelling Bee.
