| HAMPTON BEACH - The annual Hampton Beach Children's Festival - five full days of great fun for kids - wrapped up on Friday, August 20 with a mammoth costume parade. |
| Many longtime residents commented that they thought it was the largest Children's Festival parade that has ever been held. Every child who participated in the event won a prize just for entering. |
| The highlight of an awards ceremony held after the parade was the presentation of a beautiful new mountain bike. The bright yellow bicycle was won by ten-year-old Gwendolyn Wisz of Garfield, New Jersey, for her entry in the Hampton Area Chamber of Commerce's annual Slogan Contest, sponsored by Connelly Communications. |
| With a huge crowd looking on (and Ted the Cat standing close by) Atlantic News/ Beach News Publisher Mike Connelly presented the bike to Gwendolyn, who looked very tropical in a colorful swimsuit, grass skirt and flower lei. |
| Selected from a total of 160 entries and featuring a beach scene, Gwendolyn's winning slogan reads "Hampton Beach - Ya Can't Stay Just Once." Her artwork will be captured on bumper stickers that will be distributed by the Chamber. |
| Rounding out the top contest entries were "Wave If You Love Hampton Beach," "Hampton Beach Sunshine in Your Heart," and "Hampton Beach - The Time Goes Fast but the Memories Last." |
| The Hampton Beach Children's Festival is presented each August by the Hampton Area Chamber of Commerce. To view photos from the event, visit www.beachnewsnh.com. |
