Our Tulip Time Scholarship Games Spelling Bee gets kids ready to compete nationally in the Scripps National Spelling Bee.

We start with youngsters 6 and under who may hope to one day compete in the Scripps National Spelling Bee event. We hope our spelling bee participants will use our spelling bee as a springboard to prepare for the Scripps National Spelling Bee.

Register online to save your place for the Tulip Time Scholarship Games Spelling Bee and receive updates and late-breaking news from the Fitness Farm about the Tulip Times Scholarship Games.

We want to encourage youngsters to think about participating in the Scripps National Spelling Bee someday.

To participate in this national event, which is televised across the country, you have to obtain a local sponsor and compete in local, state and regional spelling bees. Based on the performance of all our participants, we have no doubt that they would do well in the national event.

If you are interested in participating in next year's event, please check out the Scripps National Spelling Bee's Web site (www.spellingbee.com), for up to date information on how to obtain a sponsor, rules and more.
