Can you spell “Beer for a Year”?

Let’s take you back to elementary school. You’re in the middle of your spelling test and that one word stumps you. You rack your brain and give it your best shot, hoping not to see a red X on your paper in the future.

But what about now? With spell check and autocorrect, adults rarely have to relive that spelling trauma…until now. At Wekiva Island, we’ve partnered with Florida Man Radio and 103.1 The Wolf to put you to the test again.

Our first ever Adult Spellin’ Bee will take place from 6 to 10 p.m. February 22 at The Island. The winner will receive Bud Light or Bud Light Seltzer for ONE YEAR! You can register to win a spot in the Bee here, but EVERYONE can get in on the fun! This is going to be a light-hearted night of laughs, so be sure to join us to cheer on the spellers.

In the meantime, we want to test your skills with a little spelling quiz of our own.
