Jordan entered Sponge Bob in the "Plush" category, and Satrina won first place in the "Twin" category. Both came with a group from the Armistead Gardens rec center. The event was held at the Dominic "Mimi" DiPietro Family Skating Center. 55 children entered the contest and 90 children attended the event, which was followed by free admission to the skating rink.
