Carol Smith, right, music director at Elgin’s Blaney Baptist Church, gets ready to Kiss Carl, a 3-month-old billy, as the goat’s owner, Jerry Starling, looks on. It was part of the Kiss the Kid contest, an event conducted by church leaders and deacons to raise money to send church children to summer camp. More than $300 was raised at this year’s event, which was held in conjunction with a recent church wide picnic to honor 2003 high school and college graduates.
