On October 3, 2008, there will be a "Kansas Senior Spelling Bee" for people who are age 50 or older. The spelling bee will be held in Salina, Kansas. The top speller will get a trip for two to the National Senior Spelling Bee in Wyoming in June 2009!
For the spelling bee rules, check out http://salhelp.org/aging/spellingbee/rules.html

The website states, "Anyone 50 years or older is eligible. The contest resembles the Scripps youth contest with easier words and assistance for people needing help hearing or writing. There is a written contest of 50 words followed by 15 finalists participating in an oral contest to select the winner."
You can even get the registration forms for the spelling bee online at http://salhelp.org/aging/spellingbee/register.html
