Editor’s picks: spelling bee
Finally, a spelling bee that’s rigged just the way we like it! 826LA presents “A Spelling Bee for Cheaters,” a wily game of verbal daring and fraudulent spelling. The more money each competing team has, the more cheats they can buy on game day. Teams accumulate money through donations, which will benefit the reading and writing programs at 826LA. Lincoln Middle School, 1508 California Ave., Santa Monica. 2 p.m. Sat. https://www.826la.org/spellingbee.
