The entire community is invited to come cheer on their favorite adult competitors for free.
The Spelling Bee was the EFKA’s first ever fundraiser in 2007. The event marks the organization’s first fundraiser since 2019. Local businesses, friends, and community members register to participate. Team names have been creative over the years as have the costumes. It is always a sellout with over 300 spectators.
This 2023 Bee will be organized into the first 50 teams registered. Each team will consist of three members. Approximately nine teams will compete in a round. The winners of each round will gather for the championship round. At the conclusion of the Bee, the highly coveted trophy will be presented to the winning team to take home and return the next year. Team registration is $100.
