Dozens of babies were entered into the Soft Rock 106.5 Diaper Derby Saturday, April 4, 2009 at the Mystic Aquarium & Institute for Exploration. A much smaller number made it to the finish line. That is understandable, considering the biggest distraction for these crawling cuties may have been the enthusiastic crowd cheering them on, including yours truly as the flag-waving referee. We think the real winner was the March of Dimes, as we help raise awareness of the cause of babies being born healthy. Thanks to Becky and the staff at Mystic Aquarium & Institute for Exploration, key sponsor The Savings Institute, Dan from the March of Dimes and all the families who turned out to make this event such a success. Several WBMW and Jammin 107-7 staffers (Chuck, Brian and Miss L) really deserve credit for making it work so well this first time out, especially my co-host Rebecca from the Wakeup Club. Rebecca was the emcee and planner for this Diaper Derby, and her real life role as a new mom definitely helped her for this job. She was awesome! Her husband Bryan brought their now famous 8-month-old Liliana (pictured) to the Diaper Derby as an observer - she's not quite crawling yet. This event was a win-win!
