On a beautiful Friday evening at the Atlanta Fall Festival, six adorable young women and three charming young men competed for the title of prince and princess.

In the 3-year-olds, Isabella Shaffer likes playing with her toys and going to the park.

Lincoln Craig likes watching TV and playing with his monster truck and dump truck.



Harper Holliger likes to make noise and go to school because she is a big girl.



Hailynn Emery likes playing with toys and friends and jumping in bouncy houses.



And, 4-year-olds, Luke Wibben likes riding horses with his mommy and playing with his little brothers.



Ryder Bilbrey likes going to school, coloring and reading books.



Among the 5-year-olds, Dahlia Adkins likes her dog Blondie.

The contestants were judged based on a combination of appearance, personality and stage presence.

Once the scores were added up, Adair announced the winners:

Hailynn Emery was crowned princess and Luke Wibben as prince. The two rode in Saturday’s parade.
