The Spelling Bee pits local businesses and organizations against one another in a raucous competition, with over 500 audience members cheering and jeering along the way!  19 teams representing big-hearted organizations like Alamo Drafthouse, the Austin American-Statesman, Half Price Books, and Silicon Labs compete for bragging rights and the top prize.
