Feb 18th: Manuel’s Tavern Hosts the 2006 Atlanta Open Orthographic Meet (Spelling Bee). BGB-ers have participated in the event over the last few years with some success. Make plans to get your spelling on. (Or, once bounced out in the second round, enjoy a cold beer while others spell impossible words).
