Kenosha Community Media will be the videographer for the Community Spelling Bee, presented by the Kenosha Literacy Council. This event takes place on Wednesday, April 22nd at the Madrigrano Auditorium of Gateway Technical College, 3520 30th Avenue, from 5:30-9:00 PM. It features teams which represent area businesses and organizations and a panel of celebrity judges. Tickets are $20.00 each or $150 for a table that seats eight.
Local businesses and organizations will field their own spelling bee teams, competing for a team trophy, bobble-head individual trophies, and bragging rights.
100% of proceeds support the English literacy programs of the Literacy Council. The 2009 Spelling Bee is sponsored in part by a generous donation from the John J. and Ruth F. Kloss Foundation.
