When and where will this year's homeschool spelling bee take place?

UPDATE for 2012-2013 year:

This year's Homeschool Spelling Bee open to all homeschooled students living in the Times Union newspaper circulation area will take place on Saturday December 1, 2012.    

The homeschool bee will take place  at Calvary Church 1230 Rugby Road in Schenectady at 10 a.m. Spellers should arrive by 9:45 to register and get preliminary instructions.

Spellers do NOT need to register in advance. We ask that parents of spellers contribute $2 per speller (maximum of $5 per family) to contribute towards the cost of heating the building for the bee and to provide a small prize for our winner and runner-up.

Excellent free study materials from the Scripps Spelling Bee are available here.
