In this video, Christa Bell gives Frances McCue an interesting word... Richard Hugo House held their First Annual Local Celebrity Spelling Bee on September 15th, 2011. It was an evening of spelling (and misspelling!), fundraising and celebrating Richard Hugo House. But this was no ordinary bee, it was done Seattle-style with a twist. If a contestant spelled a word correctly, he or she moved to the next round. If a contestant misspelled a word, it was up to the audience to "bribe" the judges with a donation to allow them to continue through! All of the monies raised went directly to the good works at Hugo House! Judges were: Christa Bell, Ryan Boudinot, Paul Constant, and Jerry Holkins. Contestants were: Langdon Cook, Bryn Gribben (as Sylla Belle), Stacey Levine, Frances McCue, John Roderick, DJ Riz Rollins, Maria Semple, and David Schmader.
