Valley of Flowers Pretty Baby Contest Seeks Entries

The Valley of Flowers Festival Committee is seeking entries for its annual Pretty Baby Photo Contest to be held at the James J. Eagan Center on Friday, May 1 and Saturday, May 2. The contest is for children two years or younger. Fairgoers vote for their favorites. Entries are judged in two categories: personality, as depicted in the photo, and popularity, as demonstrated by donations from the public who visit the booth to vote.

If you would like to enter your favorite baby, send in a 4″ x 6″ photo (or smaller) with a $5 registration fee by April 27. Entries after the deadline will be charged a $7 entry fee. On the back of the photo include – the name of the child, parents’ names, address, phone number and age of baby. (Make checks payable to Valley of Flowers Festival). Send the photo with info and the entry fee to: Valley of Flowers Festival, 601 rue St. Charles, Florissant, MO 63031.

If you would like your photo returned, include a self-addressed stamped envelope with your entry.

The winners will receive a plaque and gift basket at the award ceremony on Sunday, May 3 preceding the crowning of the queen and her court at the Knights of Columbus Pavilion. The Valley of Flowers Festival Committee sponsors this contest and all of its proceeds are used for the Valley of Flowers Children’s area.
