March 13, 2010 at 8:49a.m.

It's nearly 8:45 a.m. and almost all of the 66 contestants in the 77th Vindicator Regional Spelling Bee are already in their seats.

The school champion spellers are gathered in the Chestnut Room of the Kilcawley Center at Youngstown State University this morning, anxious for events to begin.

The weather may be a bit damp and gloomy, but the mood inside is warm and anticipation is in the air.
