Bethany Baby Reaches National Top 1% in Baby of the Year Competition! đź‘‘
Event Details
Nine-month-old River, a Bethany resident, has made it into the top 1% of babies nationwide in the 2026 Baby of the Year competition!
With the support of family, friends, neighbors, and even community members she’s never met, River has advanced to the Quarterfinals!
Her family has affectionately dubbed her “The People’s Baby,” and her little campaign, RIVER ’26, has become a fun way to bring people together.
River is currently in 7th place in her Quarterfinal group, and only the first-place baby will advance to the Semifinals.
Voting closes Thursday, October 22, at 10 PM Eastern.
Bethany and Woodbridge neighbors can help by casting a FREE vote every 24 hours. No purchase is necessary!

Whether you vote, share her story, or simply send some encouragement, River’s family is grateful for the hometown love!
