The public was invited to vote for their favorites as a fundraiser; votes closed at noon Friday, Aug. 28. The awards ceremony was held at 5:30 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 30, and ribbons and checks were awarded to winners in three categories. Anna Shirley received the most votes for “Happiest”; John Hooper Received the most votes for “The One I Would Buy If I Could”; and Sophie Chu-O’Neil won the vote in “Best Overall.”
