Mark Your Calendars for America's Funniest Home Videos this October

A Children's Hope completed family, John and Beth Anth, submitted a video of their daughter Katie to America's Funniest Home Videos. Not long after, they received a phone call—their video was selected as a finalist!

On August 18, the entire family, including the Anths teenage daughters Brandi and Amber and the video's star Katie, flew to Los Angeles for the show's taping. You can watch the exciting result on October 14 on ABC. Third place wins $2,000; second place, $3,000; and first place, a whopping $10,000.

"Being at the studio was really interesting to see how the show is made," says Beth. "Katie was a ham in front of the camera and clapped and waved when they showed our family. She was as cute as can be! It was a really fun experience for all of us, and of course winning a free trip is pretty awesome!"

View the potential winning entry, Stroller Roller, and cheer on one of our own on October 14!

* Sixteen-month-old Katie was adopted from China in February 2006.
