Area Literacy Council hosting Scrabble event

MARSHFIELD – The popular game of Scrabble will go to a whole new level when the Central Wisconsin Literacy Council hosts its annual fundraising event to benefit the organization March 11.

This will be the fourth annual Team Scrabble Tournament. Teams consist of two to five players who play in three fast-paced rounds. The team with the most collective points at the end wins.

Snacks and beverages will be provided for all. The event includes door prizes and special recognition for teams with clever names or outfits.

There’s also an opportunity to win an Eastbay gift card. Participants who collect $25 or more in additional pledges will be entered in a drawing for a $175 Eastbay gift card.

The Literacy Council’s Team Scrabble Tournament will take place at 6:30 p.m. March 11 at the Marshfield Public Library. Register online at www.centralwisconsinliteracy.org.
