Thank you to everyone who took the time to enter their child into this year's Baby Photo Contest. Please note as the entry states, one of the areas in which we vote is on the appropriateness of the photo. Therefore, if the photo is a xerox copy, have others in the photo or the subject being too candid as in a car seat or shopping cart, those photos no matter how cute are not able to be selected. We believe everyone's baby is truly the cutest baby & the decision at times is a very difficult one. Everyone works hard to make this contest run smoothly from collecting the entries to our vast panel of judges. Reminder, please be kind as this is all in fun. Happy Corn Festival!
