Not About The Buildings
Spelling Bee

On June 21, 2010, thirty-six spellers convened at AS220 to compete for fame, honor, and fabulous prizes.  After fourteen rounds of competition, Nick Thomson was declared the winner.  Thomson, a Providence resident, is a culinary student at Johnson & Wales University; presumably you can find now him at the Providence Athenaeum, taking advantage of the membership he won.

The bee attracted dozens of spectators and single-handedly helped fund the next six months of Not About The Buildings programming.

Thanks must once again go out to JP Reader, judge; Maureen Reddy, dictionarian; Jason Tranchida, bookie; and Rachel Smith, banker.  Also big big big thanks to the Providence Athenaeum, Tiny Showcase, Craftland, and What Cheer? Antiques.
