Hosted by the Herrin Women’s Club, the Little Mr./Miss Pageant and Baby Contest is one of HerrinFesta’s most adorable traditions, inviting our youngest community members to shine on stage. With age-based categories, this heartwarming event celebrates personality, charm, and those unforgettable first smiles. It’s a crowd favorite filled with cuteness, laughter, and plenty of photo-worthy moments.

This year’s theme is “Just Keep Swimming”. A themed outfit can be worn OR a casual or dressy outfit of any kind. There will be no outfit changes.

Please send separate form for each child entered, but one check is permissible. Entry fee is $30 per child. Make checks out to Herrin Woman’s Club.

Applications should be sent in advance. Doors open at noon. Baby Pageant begins at 1:00p.m. There will be a break after the baby contest.

Winners who wish to ride in the HerrinFesta Parade on Saturday, May 24,2025, must arrange their own transportation. There will NOT be a Woman’s Club float. Winners will be contacted with parade details.

Judge’s decisions are final. Crowns will be given to the winners in each age division.
