                             PHOTO OPPORTUNITY:  BABYFEST

On your mark, get set, crawl!

Parents can use toys, foods or blankets to nudge their crawlers to the finish 
line at the annual diaper derby on Saturday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Lee Park 
on Market Street.

Co-sponsored by the University of Virginia Women's Place, the derby is a part 
of Babyfest, a community-wide educational event for children of all ages and 
their parents.  Other Babyfest activities include a free magician show, arts 
and crafts, face painting, pizza and ice cream.

reporters should contact our T.V. News Office at 924-7550.
