Healthy Baby Contest History
The Healthy Baby Contest has been an island tradition since 1954 that was created by the Honolulu Chinese Jaycees. The annual event is a fun free event for families and spectators. It is a light-hearted approach to raising awareness for healthy living. The contestants will be judged on their physical appearance, healthiness, and personality. The Honolulu Chinese Jaycees aim to continue this long tradition of a baby contest on the island.
