Are you an unparalleled orthographer with a penchant for bacchanalia? Then it's time to put your currency where your orifice is and enter The Austin Chronicle Adult Spelling Bee! After taking a year off for a well-deserved "study break," the Chronicle is ready for the Adult Spelling Bee to start up again! On Thursday, May 20, the Spelling Bee will take place at Threadgill's World Headquarters and begin with all contestants taking a spelling test. Those spellers that place in the Top 50 will be asked to take another test in hopes of making it to the final stage and competing in the official Spelling Bee! It costs only $3 to enter, and all proceeds benefit the Austin Public Library. This year's proceeds will go toward growing the Faulk Central Library's audio book collection, so every dollar counts toward a new book on CD for the library's collection. Dust off your dictionary, and start practicing, as participants will receive great prizes but more importantly raise money for a great cause. Former Spelling Bee winners and representatives from The Austin Chronicle will be the Spelling Bee judges for the evening. Come on out, and support Austin Public Library!
