2nd Annual Beautiful Baby Contest at Enfield Square - presented by 2Moms on a Mission

What better way to raise money for Connecticut Children's Medical Center than to showcase some of CT and MA's most beautiful babies!? 

2Moms is proud to bring back the 2nd Annual Beautiful Baby Contest at Enfield Square! Last year's event was a HUGE success and we were able to raise $5500 for the March of Dimes.  This years event will benefit Connecticut Children's Medical Center and we're thrilled to aide a local hospital that does so much for local children in need. Enfield Square continues to support 2Moms and our events by hosting the contest again this year! A BIG thank you to them!! :)

Below is the timeline of events:
