Share Your City Groups Giveaway

Each month I give at least one wrap to a Babywearing Group Lending Library.  For September I asked groups to send me a photo of babywearing in front of a landmark in their region, or something that epitomizes the region.  Today, for Share Your City Saturday (International Babywearing Week), I am sharing some of the photos that were submitted and announcing winners!  Scroll to the bottom for winners and enjoy all of the photos along the way!

Babywearing in front of Big Tex statue in Dallas.

For North Dallas Babywearing Mamas, here is Veronica and family in front of Big Tex “the mascot of the State Fair of Texas. He’s 55 feet tall and has been around since 1952. Apparently he began his life as a gigantic paper mâché Santa Claus. And that’s the landmark in a nutshell. Leave it to us Texans to have something so weird and loved.”

This was one of the favorite haunts of the headless horseman; and the place where he was most frequently encountered.” BWI of Westchester and Rockland.

Babywearing Group Bucuresti in front of the House of the People

Babywearing Group Bucuresti “Today, some of the members participated at a marathon, along with the babies, worn in ergonomic carriers. Some used SSC, others ring slings or wraps. This marathon took place in Bucharest, in front of the second largest building in the world, after Penthagon, The House Of the People, also the biggest building in Europe! It might not be as famous as Big Ben or The Eiffel Tower, but it is a place filled with our history! P.S. : we also won the marathon ;)”

WINNERS

I have to go with Babywearing Group Bucuresti because besides the awesome picture, they WON THE MARATHON!

I also love Lakeland Babywearers’ picture with the swans, and I’m going to give them a wrap for their library as well.

And because I can’t pick just two, I’m going to go ahead and extend this giveaway–which was supposed to be a September giveaway–to encompass October, too.  For October let’s add BWI of San Antonio for their beautiful Alamo photo and BWI of Central Missouri and the cool columns!

I’m going out in my city with my family now, so will send emails to winners by Monday, or feel free to contact me yourself: diana @ wrapyourbaby.com
