AUSTINITES GEAR UP TO COMPETE FOR THE COVETED SPELLING BEE TITLE AT THE AUSTIN CHRONICLE/FADO ALL-ADULT SPELLING BEE
Join Local “Spellers” and The Austin Chronicle on October 25 for the 6th Annual Austin Chronicle-Fado Spelling Bee and Help Raise Money for the Austin Public Library
AUSTIN, TX, Monday, September 24, 2007 – Are you an unparalled orthographer with a penchant for bacchanalia? Then it's time to put your currency where your orifice is and enter the Austin Chronicle-Fado All-Adult Spelling Bee! On Thursday, October 25 the Spelling Bee will take place at Fado Irish Pub 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 compete in the official Spelling Bee! It costs only $3 to enter and ALL proceeds benefit Austin Public Library. This year’s proceeds will benefit our young adult (YA) readers, so every dollar counts towards a new book for the library’s YA 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 so come on out and support Austin Public Library!
