The 63rd annual Washington County Spelling Bee came down to a battle between three 5th grade guys Tuesday evening.  After 13 rounds, the other 20 spellers had all faltered.  The final three contestants knew they would each advance on to the Regional Bee next month, but the Washington County winner still needed to be determined.  Aidan Keller, a 5th grade student at St. Pauls Christian Day School, faltered on the word “Fennec”.  Next, Brett Campbell, a 5th grade student at Brenham Middle School, stumbled on the word “Parfait”.  Now Garrison Covin, a 5th grade student at Brenham’s First Baptist Church School, had to spell “Parfait” along with another word to win the bee:

The 3rd place winner, Aidan Keller, is the son of Jill and Brandon Keller.  2nd place winner, Brett Campbell, is the son of Aaron and Jennifer Campbell.  Garrison Covin won the bee and is the son of Charles and Bonnie Covin.  The top 3 finishers each received a cash prize from Spelling Bee sponsor KWHI and will advance on to the Regional Bee in Bryan on February 24th.

The three finalists from the Washington County Spelling Bee. (L to R) 3rd place - Aidan Keller, 1st place - Garrison Covin, and 2nd place - Brett Campbell.
