The Yellowstone County Spelling Bee

Paul and I emceed the Yellowstone County Spelling Bee for the twenty-second year in a row. Which sounds impressive, except for the fact a lot of the other volunteers have been involved for much longer than we have.

Wikiwiki, expiation, and tetrarch were just some of the words I heard Saturday morning.

I want to thank the following for making this event possible each year:

• Computers Unlimited
• Allegra Print & Imaging
• McDonalds
• City Brew
• The Burger Dive
• Billings Gazette
• Rocky Mountain College
• Target
• Montana Court Reporters
• The Skyview High Auditorium staff
•  Yellowstone County Commissioners

And a special "shout out" to Lawrence Leon and Aaron Swan. They did the sound and really hustled to get things set up by 9 a.m.

One other note: I used spell check to write this today.
