'Cuties' sought for festival contest

The application process is under way for the annual Burlington Fall Festival Cutie Contest.

To enter, children must be ages 0 to 3, be a resident of Burlington or reside within a 10-mile radius, have affiliations with social or church organizations, or a parent must be employed in the town of Burlington.

Parents are required to make two or more cans to put in businesses, banks, or grocery stores in Burlington and Flora. The purpose of the cans is to raise money for Burlington Community Club and to pay for the awards that will be given to the winners of the contest.

Each can should include: child's name, parent's names, age, grandparent's names, recent pictures of the child, and any other facts or information about the child, such as interests and favorite activities. The winner will be determined by the amount of money each child raises. Each participant will receive a gift bag.

All participants will be introduced and walk the runway during the Fall Festival Queen Pageant to be held at 7 p.m. Sept. 15 in the Community Building. The next day, Sept. 16, participants will ride in the Festival Parade.

Winners will be announced on Sept. 17 at 2:30 p.m. in the Burlington Community Building.
