All entries should be sent or taken to Woolly Bear Headquarters which is located at 111 West Washington Street, Hagerstown, Maryland.
Again, we would like to assure one and all who might be concerned about the welfare of the contestants, that all their needs are carefully attended to and, following the judging, they will be released back to a natural habitat on a lovely farm near Downsville.
We encourage all of you to keep your eyes peeled for outstanding examples of our furry friend and join us in the fun. Good luck!
Last year’s third annual Woolly Bear Contest, the entries started arriving; early in October as soon as the furry ones started putting in an appearance in this area. Judging of the contestants was an even more difficult task than in previous years but talent finally prevailed and several entries caught the eyes of the judges.
The woolly one selected the Cutest and Cuddliest, “the fairest of the fair,” and crowned with the name of Alma, was entered by Geraldine Bragunier of Clear Spring, Maryland. The runner up in this category was entered by John Yommer of Boonsboro, Maryland.
In the. second category of the Biggest and Woolliest, (and which we labeled Hairy Hager), the honor went to the entry submitted by Teresa Moats of Fairplay, Maryland, with the runner up entered by Mindy Haupt of Hagerstown, Maryland.
Each winner received an award of $100 for their entry and the runners up each received six copies of the Almanack to share with their friends.
We hope that this year you are the one to find the woolly bear that will catch the judges’ eyes and, thus, have an extra $100 of spending money for the upcoming Christmas season. So keep your eyes peeled for the champion.
