GFFE's Second Annual Adult Spelling BEE is a SUCCESS!
The Guilford High School auditorium was packed once again this year at the GFFE Adult Spelling Bee 2. Folks anxiously awaited the winner of the “Best of the Hive”. Many of the 39 teams came in costume to compete for awards such as Best Costume, Team Spirit, and Best Name, along with the battle for a second chance (over 35 returning from last year) at the title. With the emcee, judges and Queen Bee of Time also returning to their places at the Hive, this year’s Bee was even more successful than the first. Over $8,500 was raised for the GFFE. This year’s “Best of the Hive” award went to the BEElievers, a group of friends who edged out the team from Palumbo’s Automotive with the winning word “vernissage”. The auditorium was filled with enthusiasm, excitement, some laughs, raffle prizes and moments of silence as they waited to hear the correct spelling of the words and who would be knocked out of the swarm
