COMMENT
Voting slips will be provided and the entries marked by number and category. Your "best of
show" vote will most likely be a repeat of one of your choices. Winners from each category will have
their names mentioned in the January Newsletter. The Best of Show winners will receive engraved
plaques to keep and display until next year's contest. This allows a history of winners to develop as the
years go by. It is your chance to see the best of this past year and hear the stories behind the finds or
creations.
The Awards were started December 1995
