Two sets of local parents have something special to boast about—their infants were chosen as the “cutest babies” by area residents.
The cutest baby contest was  sponsored by Adams Bank and Trust during the holidays.
The public could buy ballots to cast a vote for the baby of their choice, and proceeds were earmarked for the nursery at Perkins County Hospital.
Jace Lee Noyes, six-month-old son of Ashleigh and Jason Noyes, received the most votes to win first place and a quilt.
