It's a gift, unfortunately.<br /><br />Congrats on the spelling bee win(s)! <br /><br />We got to that point with one of our trivia contests (held annually to benefit the local symphony) since it seemed that we were discouraging participation by other teams, which was counterproductive really. But then the local parochial school beat us, and after that the symphony stopped running the contest, so it became moot.<br /><br />The other trivia contest we used to compete in regularly was sponsored by the local literacy advocacy group, which disbanded (insert punch line here).<br /><br />The latest contest we've only done twice and came in second both times, so I figure we can keep at it. :)<br /><br />The choice is yours, I suppose!Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03463621516644789183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5977625681756554695.post-39380010727223400702018-03-04T17:57:57.352-06:002018-03-04T17:57:57.352-06:00We have never *not* won multiple prizes from World...We have never *not* won multiple prizes from Worldbuilders. You must have been bucking the odds for a while!<br /><br />I was thinking of you on Thursday - specifically your repeat-win trivia contest posts. We (my family plus next-door neighbour) defended our title at the community spelling bee - 4 wins in five years :). Wondering whether to split up next year or something, but not unwilling to play the part of Evil Empire, really..Ewanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15587749873205076612noreply@blogger.com
