If Sally sold sea shells by the sea shore, that would prove she had bad business sense, because sea shells are readily available for free at the sea shore.
Nevertheless, Sally would be fodder for the 15th Annual Tongue Twister Contest, coming up at 2pm on Saturday, August 22 in Burlington, Wisconsin.
Do you find yourself to have more vocal dexterity than most? Try your luck! The contest has divisions for children, teens, and adults, and is open for ages 6-106. The tongue twisters are not given out ahead of time, so there'll be an even playing field for all contestants. Make sure to get there early, as the event is very fast paced.
What's in it for the winners? Event founder Judith Schultz explains, "Contestants will win prizes, but all audience members also receive a prize as they are a most important part of the event. The contestants can win such wonderful and appropriate prizes as a 'portion of a peck of pickled peppers,' 'spinning store tops,' and 'sea shells you can sell,' or maybe even a 'rubber baby buggy bumper.'"
Past editions of the event have been covered on NPR and in Real Simple Magazine, and this year's event should be one of the biggest yet.
