Audience members (21 and over) are greatly encouraged to come out to the third annual Peter White Public Library Adult Sip and Spell: A Spelling Bee for Cheaters this Friday night, February 7, 2020 in the UP Masonic Center Red Room. A $5.00 cover charge can be paid at the door and audience members can purchase cheats and “bet” on their favorite spellers.

A cash bar featuring Blackrocks Brewery beer, wine and soft drinks will be available.

This isn’t your average spelling bee–this is a CHEATER’S spelling bee!  Contestants can purchase cheats to advance their game.  Cheat prices start at $10.00 each with cheats like skip a word, buy your way back in the competition, advance directly to final round (while wearing a bee suit for the duration of the event),  and 30 seconds with a dictionary.

Team Sign-in opens at 5:30 pm the Bee starts at 7:00 pm sharp!

In the first rounds, teams will spell together until six teams remain. Those teams will move on to the final rounds where contestants will compete as individuals.

A winner will eventually emerge and a team will also be crowned with an award for team spirit.  Costumes are encouraged!

Register online on the Peter White Public Library’s Facebook event, on www.pwpl.info, the PWPL circulation desk, via email at heather@uproc.lib.mi.us or phone (906)226-4305.

More information is available on the PWPL Facebook Event or at www. pwpl.info.

Proceeds from Sip & Spell go to the Peter White Public Library Development Fund to benefit the PWPL collections, programs and services.
