Little Winners in Snake Saturday Parade
It’s not about beauty, and it’s not about talent. Care to guess?
The Rose of Tralee? Close. Copping off in the big tent at Lew’s Irish Hooley? I see what you mean, but not what we’re talking about.
It’s the Little Lads and Little Lassies.
More than 25 kids from across the Northland were at Finnigan’s Hall in North Kansas City on Saturday, March 3, to compete in two categories of the Little Lad and Lassie competition, ages 2 to 4 and 5 to 7.
They danced, sang, played harmonicas and recited nursery rhymes as they hoped they’d be the ones chosen to ride in convertibles in the NKC Snake Saturday parade.
Explaining that it’s not a beauty or talent contest, event coordinator Debbie Van Pelt-McEnroe said:
We’re mainly looking for children who look like they would be comfortable sitting on the back of a convertible waving. I don’t want a child who has an extremely talented mother or a child who has plenty of money and they could buy the world’s most expensive green outfit to have an advantage over a child who doesn’t have that luxury
