Do you remember the word that you misspelled during your elementary school spelling bee? Never had a spelling bee in school but think you might out -spell folks now if you had the opportunity? Now is the chance to redeem yourself! It is also the time to prove you can spell better than some self righteous adults!  :)

This Black History Month, Cindelle’s Bookstore is collaborating with Vibes After Dark to put on the biggest 2nd annual Adult Spelling Bee!

This year we wanted to not only embarrass spellers in a larger venue,  but host a celebration of Blackness in the city of Plainfield during Black History Month! ✊🏾

Join us on February 4th from 6pm-10pm to participate (or even watch) the spelling bee, support Black-Owned businesses and dance the night away! We can’t wait to see you.
