The best grocery baggers in the country will compete in Las Vegas this February for bragging rights and prizes.
ConAgra Foods is sponsoring the competition this year to help reward the people who bag up the company's packaged food products.
The baggers are judged on speed, attitude, appearance, weight distribution and technique.
The winner will receive $10,000. Second place will receive $5,000. And third, fourth and fifth places will all receive $1,000.
The National Grocers Association has organized the competition for 24 years.
