This event is different than previous Country Fair Baby Contests.  All contestants will be called to a staging area (room) where they will gather prior to their appearance on stage.  Each category will be called to the staging area when their time approaches.  The event will progress rather quickly as child and one adult will promptly move across the stage as they are announced and judged. Once all of the children (in category) have made their way across the stage, results will be announced in each category.  Judging criteria: Personality, Appearance & Interaction
