The Peter White Public Library partnered up with Double Trouble DJs and Blackrocks Brewery for the spelling bee we couldn't resist. Dubbed a "Spelling bee for cheaters, teams could buy cheats to secure their places in the bee while simultaneously raising funds for the library.
See below our Nina happily waving her cheat to "fly over" a wacky Japanese rooted word she couldn't spell. Also see below some less than happy looking people in bee costumes! For $100 anybody could purchase an adult sized bee costume and place it on anybody in the room, guaranteeing them a spot in the final round. This was easily our favorite cheat and all 10 bee costumes were purchased throughout the evening totaling $1,000 raised for PWPL.
In case you didn't know many of our team members have a healthy appetite for competition. (So did the lady behind our table). Their team actually ended up winning!
The whole operation was phenomenal. Double Trouble did a wonderful job with the stage, sound system, and their own Bill Digneit was the perfect host. It was all smiles around the room. Partly due to Blackrocks Brewery's special honey double IPA Buzzy Joose that they made just for the sip and spell. Mostly due to the good company and the great cause that we were all there for.
We've heard that this event is hoped to become annual and you can bet your stingers that the Jeweler Bees will be back for more!
My wife picked out the ring while on vacation in Marquette area. Had it “put aside” while she thought about how bad she wanted it. Gonna surprise her on Sweetest Day—
Every thing is great so far-I’ll let you know the outcome...
All of your jewelry is beautiful. Nice to have a piece of home
Everything about it is wonderful
Beautiful picture
Love the design and the size. Perfect.
This charm is very nicely made and a very beautiful design.
This ring for me gives me a peace of MQT summers, of the lush greens and full trees. Beth is able to share so many of her local experiences into her jewelry which I can appreciate. Leaves me peaceful...
I was raised in the U.P. and have a deep love of Lake Superior and agates, and many of my family members on my mother's side worked in the copper mines. (Plus Beth and I are both alums of NMU.) When I saw this pendant, I realized that not only did it look beautiful, but it represented so much of who I am.
When it arrived, I was stunned at how beautiful it is.
I have a number of other Beth Millner pieces, all of which I love, but this one is particularly special. I have a chain from the shop, but can't help but think that a braided copper chain would be a perfect match.
Every time I look down at this ring on my hand, I feel transported into a favorite place, the rustic U.P. woods: surrounded by green leaves & branches galore. The double band combined with a twig-like appearance really catches my eye, with a natural greenstone front & center. Well done BMJ team!
