Snc. marilinii CCM/OOS
[First]
Most Unusual Exhibit

Shown by Marilyn Light
This exhibit was awarded the CCM/OOS (certificate of culinary merit) at the February meeting. Congratulations!
It was also considered for the prestigious HCC/OOS (high class cake) and FCC/OOS (first class cake) awards, but the judges felt compelled to deduct points for the use of non-renewable resources (styrofoam) in the presentation. Conservation has always been one of the chief goals of the society. There was also some doubt over whether or not the exhibit had been in the possession of the exhibitor for the requisite time prior to being exhibited. Normally the society requires that the exhibitor must have personally owned an exhibit for at least 6 months prior to exhibiting it on the show table.
Finally, in making their assessment the judges noted that there was some damage to the ehibit in that parts of it appeared to have been eaten. There could be a mouse in the growing area?
