This annual event supports our local food bank. Here is high-spirited competition for a great local cause. Adult teams sponsored by local businesses and civic groups compete in a real Spelling Bee held annually at the Village Theatre.

The event draws a great community audience, offers a three-foot traveling trophy and bragging rights for a year. We raise about $6,000 annually for the food and clothing banks operated by Issaquah Valley Community Services.

Planning for the 2010 Spelling Bee is underway.  The event is usually held in April or May.
