We would go to many of these places to do what we called 'queens' we would dress up in bridesmaids type dresses, and have to walk around in a circle and curtsey to the judges. Winners would get trophies/sash's/or a pound or two... depending on the ages.
We would be part of a group also, each area had their own queen and the queen would have their own corsage, I was never a queen as there wasn't one for the village where I grew up but myself and Anti Heidi were in a corsage for another. Anyway reason I'm rambling is because it was a big thing, and is still going on nowadays also, but it seems not as big as it once was.
We would dress you up in the all in one teddy bear outfit that your nannan knitted, place you in a basket with a blanket and another couple of teddies and pose you as teddy bear picnic.
You won first prize in your category of 3 year and younger. Then Caio won in best of show type, but at that point you were sleeping in my arms and didn't look like your original teddy!!
