Derby Starts at 1 PM inside the
Hazel Ruby Building
Registration:  Noon to 12:45 PM 
The fastest babies in Mon County start at one end of our "Racetrack" and crawl to the finish line, with Blue Ribbons on the line. Parents can use keys, toys or other items to attract their crawler, but may not reach over the finish line to grab them.
​And if your baby takes his or her first steps, it’s a mixed blessing.
​What a milestone! But in this race, only crawling is allowed.
