K9s in Flight return
Pretty Baby contest
enters 37th year
I 41
BALLWIN DAYS
K9s in Flight, the premiere canine sports
show, is back in action at Ballwin Days
2017 featuring a lineup of all rescue dogs.
The world-class show features exciting
diving tricks and acrobatic flying disc routines
set to music.
Watch dogs jump as far as 25 feet off a
dock into a 15,000-gallon swimming pool
to catch a toy, or jump as high as 10 feet in
the air, to catch a thrown disc.
K9s in Flight’s motto is “Adopt a dog,
save a life!”
Ballwin Days 2017 marks the 37th
anniversary of the festival’s Pretty Baby
Contest, an event where area babies have
helped raise over $75,000 for SSM Cardinal
Glennon Children’s Medical Center
over the years. Help make this a recordbreaking
year for Babies Helping Kids!
Since the first contest in 1981, over 2,000
babies have been entered for Pretty Baby
honors. A photo of each contestant will be
on display in the Pretty Baby tent where
family, friends and festival-goers can cast
their monetary votes.
Each cent donated counts as one vote,
and special prizes are awarded to the four
babies with the most votes at the final ceremony
on June 11. Cash or check donations
are accepted. All proceeds go to Cardinal
Glennon. For details and entry instructions,
visit www.ballwindays.com or email PrettyBaby@BallwinDays.com.
The contest is
open to all children age 3 years and under.
Photo entries must be received by June 3.
