One of the popular events held at the McDonald County Fair is the Tiny Tot Contest. This is an opportunity for parents, grandparents and any others to show off that special little tike in their life and give them a chance to compete for the title of Mr. or Miss Tiny Tot.
This event will be held on Saturday, July 18, starting at 10 a.m. Someone needs to register the contestant between 9:30 and 10 a.m. It will be held in the Fair Building. This building is NOT air conditioned so dress your little one in comfortable, cool, casual, play clothes.
There is a $5 registration fee for each contestant. There will be 12 divisions (boys and girls) in the following age brackets:

Contestants will be judged on grooming, cleanliness and personality. All contestants will receive a gift. Awards will be given for first, second, and third place in each division. There will be a grand champion boy and girl chosen from the category winners. Participant ribbons will be awarded to everyone. First-place trophies will be awarded in each division. Rosette ribbons will be awarded to second and third place in each division. Grand champion trophies will be awarded to one boy and one girl.
