THE SECOND ANNUAL DADE COUNTY GEOGRAPHY BEE

Abstract

The Second Annual Dade County Geography Bee was held in February, 1987. Encouraged by the success of the first bee (Kirk and Maer 1986), the organizers worked to make the second even more notable. Participation this year was double that of 1986; thirty-two middle and junior high schools from Dade County competed. Because of the increased number of schools involved, the Bee's founding sponsor, the Optimist Club of West Kendall, recruited the Optimist Club of North Bay Village to co-host the event. The combined resources of the clubs helped make this Geography Bee an even greater success than last year.
