Novelty Beeswax Entry is Best in Show

Ceil Berg, who along with husband Alf conprise family-owned Herbertsville Honey, created this work of art in beeswax.

Not only did this entry earn the Bergs the Best in Show Award, but their overall ribbon point totals clinched the Best Exhibitor Award also. In addition to cash prizes, each ribbon awarded has a point value, i.e., four points for a first place ribbon, three for second and two for third. The exhibitor with the highest total of "ribbon points" earns the Best Exhibitor award. Both the Best Exhibitor and the entrant winning the Best in Show have their names engraved on a plaque that is displayed at the winter meeting with the winning entries.
