ACT Of Connecticut Hosts Happy Hour on May 29  ImageSave the Date! ACT of Connecticut's next "Happy Hour" is Friday, May 29 at 7pm!

This week Daniel C. Levine, Bryan Perri and Katie Diamond will be joined by three of Putnam County's best spellers! That's right, they'll be joined by the spunky Logainne SchwarzandGrubeniere, past Spelling Bee champion William Barfee and newcomer Olive Ostrovsky. You might remember these "characters" from ACT's 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee. We can't wait to see what they've been up to and how they've been passing the time in quarantine! Did Barfee get through all of Tiger King? Is Olive now a social butterfly leading zoom reunions with all of the former spellers? Has Logainne become the head of the COVID-19 task force at her elementary school? Find out Friday, May 29 at 7pm LIVE on Facebook!
