CENTERBURG — Little Miss Liberty and Little Uncle Sammy 2010 were announced Thursday at the Heart of Ohio USA Days Festival.
The finalists took to the stage in Centerburg’s Memorial Park and awaited the final results. Finalists for Little Uncle Sammy included Colvin Guthrie, age 4, and Zachary Taylor, age 6. Little Miss Liberty contestants were Trinity Stockberger, age 6, Jacelyn Moore, age 6, and Nevaeh O’Riley, age 4.
