The team was ultimately ousted after misspelling its third word. The team proceeded to round two, but the second word proved to be no less complicated. One 2015 trio would have been eliminated after misspelling its first word of the night, but anted up a pass, getting the word correct on second guess. “Last year, all but two of the teams came with two passes, but audience members saved those teams by purchasing passes that allowed them to play another round.”

“The pass fees can be solicited from businesses or other contributors,” Muncey explained. Teams also have the option to purchase up to two $100 passes that allow them to attempt to spell a misspelled word again to avoid elimination.

“It’s about having a family-friendly good time and raising funds for TreeHouse and the students it serves.” “This really isn’t about being the best speller,” Muncey said. A business, organization or community member can serve as team sponsor by paying the fee and recruiting three individuals to show off their spelling skills – or lack thereof. Muncey said the fee can be paid by team members or a sponsor. But before the 2016 spelling bee can exceed its first-year success, organizers are seeking two more three-person teams to compete against six existing teams, according to committee member Jennifer Muncey. The inaugural event created quite a buzz, raising more than $4,200 in less than an hour. The event, which raises funds for the TreeHouse After School Program, is set for Thursday, April 21 at First United Methodist Church Fellowship Hall in Stephenville. The 2nd Annual Community Adult Spelling Bee Contest, on the other hand, promises plenty of reasons for participants and attendees to laugh out loud. Some of the words on the Scripps National Spelling Bee 2016 study list are no joke. STEPHENVILLE (April 11, 2016) – Smorgasbord.
