The recent Jefferson County Spelling Bee took a unique turn in the final round, when three of the four competitors were eliminated in the final round. The result was that rather than one runner up, the 2013 competition has three runners up and one Grand Champion. Not all of the runners up were available for photos following the competition last week, but all three posed for the camera with their respective School Principals after returning to school. Congratulations to all the winners of the Jefferson County Spelling Bee and those that competed on the County, school and classroom level. The winner of the Jefferson County Spelling Bee, Brant Adams, was featured in an article last week.
