Let’s warm up this winter with some fun!

The Patton Library Committee will host an Adult Spelling Bee.

Date: Sunday, January 25th, 2026 after the Traditional Service, approximately 12 noon

Location: Simpson Room

Details: We’ll begin with a light lunch followed by the Bee.

Do you have what it takes to be a Spelling Bee contestant?

  • All contestants must be 16 years or older.

  • Rules will closely follow the National Spelling Bee; therefore, contestants will be required to spell words orally and not be able to use pen and paper.

  • Audience members can join in the fun, too, and spell quietly in their seats using their own spell cards for a chance to win a prize.

  • Please reach out to Sandra Lane by phone, or text (412) 841-7169, to be a contestant or if you’d like to contribute something to our potluck luncheon before the Bee. Registrations for contestants will close on January 20th.

  • Depending on how many contestants sign up, there may be a separate preliminary round on January 24th at 11:00 am.

Hope to see you there!
