Tonight is the 19th annual Spelling Bee and Trivia Challenge at the Whyte Museum of the Canadian Rockies. It’s one of the more brainy activities as part of Banff’s Winter Carnival happening right now in town. Now, this would normally be the type of thing you read about in the back of the community news section of your paper a week after the fact. But in a small town this is the place to be on a Tuesday night!

Chris and I will be going head to head on opposing teams this year; he’ll be playing with the Banff Centre marketing team, and I with the Cranium Crawlers (the nerdy ladies from softball!). There’s about a dozen teams ready to take on such subjects as local history, geography, and “name that tune.” My rock and roll history class will finally pay off! heh.

I sure wish these ladies were at the carnival this year. May the biggest brain win!

    That’s awesome!
    May the best speller win!
    How did Banff get so fun!?
    Have you been prepping for the challenge? Reading the dictionary? :)

    Watching the Godfather causes unnatural cravings for giant bowls of pasta. Amy Tan makes one want to run out for dim sum. Star Wars teases with its blue milk. Shouldn't every day be built around such paper snacks?
