National Odor-Eaters Rotten Sneaker Contest(SM)

MONTPELIER, Vt., March 24 /PRNewswire/ -- Even the panel of "odor specialists"
resisted the urge to cover their noses as pungent smells emanated from the
most offensive sneakers in this year's Annual National Odor-Eaters Rotten
Sneaker Contest(SM). Ready to be judged, seven kids, ages seven to fifteen,
from across the country have arrived in Montpelier today, selected as national
finalists, wearing the decrepit and odorous rubber-soles that won them
regional recognition.

In its 34th year, the National Odor-Eaters Rotten Sneaker Contest is the
ultimate test of just how offensive sneakers can get when they're not taken
care of properly. Sneakers are judged on the conditions of the sole, tongue,
heel, toe, laces or velcro, eyelets/grommets, overall condition and most
important ODOR, by a panel that includes NASA "Master Sniffer" George Aldrich,
Chemical Specialist for NASA space missions, and Rachel Herz, Ph.D, author of
The Scent of Desire, and professor at Brown University.

This year, Joshua Boothe, beat out six other contestants, from - Plymouth, CT;
Fenton, MI; Chugiak, AK; Peoria, IL; Barre, VT; AND El Paso, TX - to take home
the grand prize of a $2,500.00. Joshua said he's putting the money in the bank
and saving it for college.

Joshua Boothe also received the Golden Sneaker Award trophy, an all expense
paid trip to New York City to see the Broadway Show The Lion King, and a
supply of Odor-Eaters(R) products to kick out the odor from his/her sneakers.
Although the maker of Odor-Eaters products sponsors the contest, it's clear
that the contestants keep the product far from their willfully worn and torn
warriors submitted for judging.

Joshua Boothe's sneakers will also be enshrined in the Odor-Eaters "Hall of
Fumes" in Montpelier, VT.
