SPELLING F-U-N
Spellebration, the annual event supporting AR Kids Read, deviated from its traditional format April 3 when guests were asked to pull out their smartphones.
The event, held at the Chenal Event Venue, usually is a spelling bee for adults. But this year, the main event was a three-round trivia contest where guests answered questions on their phones. All of the questions were related to the organization's mission of helping children read at their grade levels.
At the event, Mary and Jim Wohlleb were presented with the Bee the Difference Award for their volunteer tutoring work with elementary school students.
