The second annual Adult Spelling Bee, held at the Shepherdstown Public Library, saw Rachel Hally triumph with the word 'exculpate,' while competitors Sheila Vertino and Charity Riley secured second and third places, respectively. The event not only provided a fun challenge for participants but also served as a fundraiser for the Friends of Shepherdstown Library, vital for supporting library programming and improvements. Local businesses contributed prizes for a raffle, which enhanced the community spirit of the event alongside new offerings like ice cream and coffee to enjoy during the competition.
