Cardi Spelling Bee-An Adult Spelling Bee (Oakland)

What’s the language of origin for Bodak Yellow? Can you use okauuuuuuuur in a sentence?

Don’t worry, you won’t be spelling Cardi words, you’ll be spelling words from the 1st to 8th grade level.

Join us at Baba’s House for an adult spelling bee that’s dripping in finesse. It’s $10 to compete, and your entry fee goes $50 pot to the winner! Other competitors will get goodies. First five entries get to play. And it’s free to watch, so come support your favorite speller.
