Since its inception, the Bee has attracted swarms of residents, both as participants and spectators. According to Ellie Fredston, Bee organizer, “Last year the Bee attracted 20 teams whose members included government officials, lawyers, business owners, high school students, and spelling bee enthusiasts.” In addition, she added, “There were also hundreds of spectators lending their support and enjoying a fun afternoon.” Fredston noted that contributions from the Spelling Bee will help fund programs at the Larchmont Public Library that benefit the entire community.

Lou Young, Larchmont resident and CBS-TV news personality, returns as the Master of Ceremonies. Nancy Seligson, Mamaroneck Town Supervisor; Anne McAndrews, Village of Larchmont Mayor; and George Latimer, New York State Senator will again serve as Bee Judges.
