The Namao Flower and Bench Show had more than 115 entries on display at the Namao Community Hall on Saturday, Aug. 10.
Taking away the Best of Show in their respective Class was a 6.5-foot tree lily, peach cake, raspberry freezer jam, and a quilt with pieced animal designs.
More than 50 were in attendance for the tea and viewing and to see the winning entries.
The Best in Show in the Flower Class was Berend Becker with the over 6 ft tree lily. Becker said the tree is a cross between an Oriental Lily and a Trumpet lily that produces huge trumpet-shaped flowers on a tall, strong stem.
Caitlin Jodoin won Best of Show in the Baking Class for her peach cake. She had just baked it that morning for entry into the show. As Jodoin walked in, everyone awaited her reaction to see she won.
The Best of Show in Preserves went to Debbie Maloney for her raspberry freezer jam.
The Best in Show for the Craft Class was Leanne Egeland’s quilt with pieced animals. Egeland said she enjoyed making the quilt with the whimsical designs.
The numerous youth entries included Lego cars, a guitar made of recycled vegetable creation, rock art, poems and other creative entries.
