EMILY ZAGORSKI, a bubbly nine year old from Plano, Texas has just been named by LoLo Company as America's Funnest Kid of the Year!
Emily is a student at Centennial Elementary School and is best known within her community and nationwide for creating the character, "Special Agent Emily," for the Absolutely Mindy Show heard on XMKiDS on XM Satellite Radio.

According to America's Funnest Kid, she says the best advice she can give other kids about creating fun and laughter is to never be limited to what your body or mind can do because you always have your imagination and sense of humor. Emily knows this to be true, first hand, as she battles Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis (JRA) with much courage...and a inspirational positive attitude! Melinda Hohmann, radio show host at XMKiDS who nominated Emily says, "Nothing gets her down. Emily touches the heart of everyone she meets and has proven to many that laughter really does heal!"
The four other finalists in the nationwide search include: Sam Lyons (Trabucco Canyon, CA), Laura Gafner (Foothill Ranch, CA), Kaley Jenkins (Spring Valley, CA), and Jacob Fast (Trabucco Canyon, CA).
A special thank you to our special judges: Sharon Bay (Publisher/Editor in Chief, San Diego Family Magazine), Craig Shoemaker (nationally acclaimed comedian and founder of Laughter Heals Foundation), David Evans (school psychologist), Mary Ann King (Miss Mary Ann from 70's show Romper Room), Stevanne Auerbach (nationally expert Dr. Toy), and Maria Weiskott (Editor in Chief, Playthings Magazine).

Live Life to the Funnest!
