Bee Brings Community Together for Epic Spelling Showdown

Tickets are now on sale for the season’s most buzz-worthy event: the Community Spelling Bee, a fundraiser for the Free Library of New Hope & Solebury.

The community is encouraged to “bee a honey” and support the event, which will be held at the Stephen J. Buck Memorial Theater at the New Hope-Solebury High School on Thursday, November 1, 2018, at 7 p.m. Tickets are $10 for adults and $5 for students 18 and under.

Sponsored by Penn Community Bank and Always Advancing, this adult team competition brings “swarms” of teams to the stage for an exciting spell-off. Teams are comprised of library patrons, local moms and teachers, community leaders and local businesses—featuring names like the Let It Bees (pictured: ), Queen Bees, Pirates of the CaribBEEan, C'est La Bee, Not Bee-ing Serious and Eagle Fire Co.’s Blazin’ Bees.

A raffle drawing, 50/50 and Bake Sale, with treats from C'est La Vie, Factory Girl Bake Shop and The Goody Bag, will add to the evening’s buzz. Raffle tickets and goodies will be on sale as soon as doors open at 6:15 p.m.

All proceeds support the Free Library of New Hope & Solebury’s mission of sharing knowledge, enriching lives. Purchase tickets at the library or at nhslibrary.org. A limited number of tickets will be sold at the door.
