The word on the street is that 18 adult Bee teams are preparing to swarm the stage of the New Hope-Solebury High School auditorium on Friday, October 4, at 7 p.m. for the Community Spelling Bee, a fundraiser for The Free Library of New Hope & Solebury. Teams include local local lawyers, innkeepers, bakers, New Hope Borough Council members and Solebury Township Supervisors.
