The 2024 annual Wildwoods Loves Waddlers Baby Waddle Contest on July 30 was the most competitive yet, as a record number of waddlers and crawlers – 24 months and younger – showed up to show off their crawling and waddling skills.
The event had two categories – The Crawl and The Waddle. Participants were placed in the center of a colorful, 45-foot-diameter circle and encouraged by their parents to crawl or waddle to the edge. The first in each category to crawl or waddle outside of the circle was declared the winner and received a family of four pack to Morey’s Amusement Piers and Water Parks.
The winners were Waddle Winner Harrison Giannantonio, 21 months, from Glassboro NJ; and Crawl Winner Evelyn Callahan, 1 year, from Columbus NJ.
This annual tradition serves a fun prequel event to the annual Wildwoods Baby Parade taking place on Wednesday, July 31 along the Wildwoods Boardwalk. Registrations are still being accepted for the Baby Parade at www.facebook.com/wildwoodsbabyparade.
