The event raised $13,500 which will be used by the Library and the Festival of Stories to promote family literacy in Georgina.

BreakfastTelevision producer Kevin Forget emceed while Mayor Rob Grossi "MisPronounced" err... pronounced the word list. MP Julia Munro, Advocate editor John Slykhuis and Chamber president Dan Fellini judged.
