I fully believe in special recognition for exhibitors. I suggest that every show use the “reserve” best in shows as a way to extent the recognition that exhibitors deserve. It’s stressful to exhibit flowers and I believe that keeping yellow fever “infectious” is something we should all be practicing on a regular basis. The UK practices this as well as other countries. Our show awarded a reserve mini best in show to Snipe, taken from the winning Aqua Ribbon entry. Linda Wallpe was the exhibitor.
