2009 Columbia Homecoming Festival
DIAPER DERBY & TODDLER TROT CONTEST
Saturday, June 27, 2009
Register at the Homecoming registration booth by noon.
Race will begin at 12:30 p.m. at the Children’s Pavilion.
The Diaper Derby contest started in 2005, with a few excited participants. The Diaper Derby & Toddler Trot is a fun filled event for crawling children, toddling toddlers up to 3 years of age. Crawlers participating in the Diaper Derby will crawl 20 feet from one cheering, "coach" to the other. Toddlers in the Trot will run distances from one coach to the other according to their age.
Each racer must be accompanied by at least one adult supervisor. Adult supervisors can be behind the start and finish lines and can use toys, dolls, baby bottles, keys, etc. to offer the racer incentives to race to the finish, but no adult can assist the racer or cross either the starting line or finish line during the race or the racer will be disqualified. The winning racers must cross the finish line on their own.
If you have not seen this event, it is great. We're not sure who is more excited, the infants or the parents!

Championship Racer Title, $15.00 gift card & Trophy for each age division.
