Family fun will abound at the Holts Summit Community Betterment Association's 7th annual Holts Summit Harvest Festival, but families with a strong resemblance stand to win prizes.

A new event featured at this year's event, scheduled for 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Oct. 13 at Greenway Park, will be a look-alike contest.

"It's like a mother/daughter, dad/son type of look-alike contest," said event chairperson Diane Ohern. "To give it a fair chance, it does not matter if the gender is the same."

Ohern said there will be first, second and third-place prizes for the families with the strongest resemblance. Contestants must meet at the stage at 10:30 a.m., and Ohern said no "enhancers" - such as wigs or fake glasses - are allowed.
