Duckwalls sponsors baby contest

The "cutest baby" contest, sponsored by the local Duckwalls store, is now in progress.

Store manager Janie Meierhoff encourages new entries. Any baby can be entered in the contest by bringing a photo of the baby, which is taped to a jar on display in the store.

Donations are dropped in the jars and the money is counted at the end of the month. The baby with the most money will receive a $25 gift certificate.

The rest of the money is donated to Community Christmas.

"It's a good thing. All the money goes back to Duckwalls as we buy things for Community Christmas," said Margo Yates, Marion Chamber of Commerce executive secretary.

The contest runs until the end of October.
