Merchants still waiting for first baby of 2025

The Stockton merchants are still waiting for the first little Miss or Mister of 2025!

They really stepped it up this year with over $500.00 in prizes, which includes many fine gifts of cash, merchandise, and gift certificates for Mommy, Daddy, and baby (babies)!

Remember, certain requirements must be met to win the contest and claim the prizes.

The baby must be born to a married couple residing in Rooks County whose address is Stockton, Stockton routes, Woodston, or rural route with Phillipsburg address, though the baby does not have to be born within the county. The attending physician must verify the birthday with the date and exact time.

The prize claim must be made within four days of the baby’s birthday, and the Sentinel Office will provide the lucky parents with the proper credentials to claim the prizes. All prizes must be picked up within two weeks of the winner's announcement. Grandparents or other relatives may not pick up the prizes for the winning parents.

Good luck to the expectant parents! And the race is on!
