Spellebration and More!

Well... since I jumped back into the whole school thing, I thought to myself: "Self, why not relive your days in the spelling bee?"

Granville Education Foundation has a fundraiser every year in which schools and community businesses enter into the spelling bee they host. Teams are made up of three people from that organization, and there are three rounds: Easy, Medium, Hard. Well... we weren't the first out, but we WERE the fourth!! hahaha. And each team has a theme: We were the Joe Toler Oak Hill(billies)

More importantly, I went and saw a movie yesterday that I encourage you ALL to try to get your hands on eventually. It is set RIGHT HERE in Oxford, NC, my current home. Back in 1970. It's called "Blood Done Sign My Name" and is based on a true story. Many of the people we watched the movie with were alive during this time. Many of the people in the movie still live in Oxford. One is the county commissioner.

Check out the link below for the trailer!! Look for the confederate soldier statue. It currently sits outside of the library, but people want it GONE. I, for one, am with them.
