Tonight is the Schoolhouse Supplies Celebrity Spelling Bee at the Portland Art Museum in Portland, Oregon!
We are mega fans of spelling bees. Have you seen Spellbound? If not, Netflix it and you’ll buzz for bees too.
We are very excited about this year’s event because last year’s winner, Zia McCabe will be defending her title.
Zia is keyboard player and super cool chick from our favorite band, The Dandy Warhols. Last year’s win
was a bit of a shock to her, but word on the street is that she is P-O-I-S-E-D to take the title again this year.
She’ll be facing off against Cupcake Wars winner and owner of Kyra’s Bake Shop, Kyra Bussanich,
news anchorman and reporter Reggie Aqui and Portland Trailblazers high profiled rookie, CJ McCollum.
The annual event is the big fundraiser for Schoolhouse Supplies, a non-profit organization that supports
public education in Portland by giving students and teachers free classroom supplies. 100% volunteer run,
they operate Oregon’s only Free Store for Teachers which is stocked with supplied donated by the community.

Good luck to tonight’s celeb spellers! We’re rooting for you Zia!!!!
