PJWC will again be accepting Venmo to collect votes. To vote through Venmo, send your chosen transaction amount to @P-Juniors-71. Voters must include the baby’s name in the “What’s it for?” line. Venmo votes will only be accepted from noon on Friday, August 8th, to noon on Thursday, September 4th.

One dollar equals 100 votes. All votes will be tallied and winners will be notified on September 5th and introduced during that evening’s Homestead Festival announcements.  

Prizes will be given to the boy and girl winners, as well as the boy and girl runners-up. All winners and their parents will have a spot in the Homestead Festival parade on Saturday. 

The Princeton Junior Woman’s Club donates all the proceeds from this contest back to communities and organizations within Bureau County through various projects carried out by their club.
