Grand Champion - Dottie Cull and Friends
American Pharoah - celebrating the Triple Crown winner, complete with horse and jockey and several ladies with big hats sipping mint juleps (well, maybe it was wine), and also celebrating Dottie's Triple Crown win, having won awards the past 3 years!

They were riding in Steve and Barb Arnold's boat, but Barb says Kathleen and Johannes designed and donated the bribes, festive bags filled with liquor, crackers, candy and other goodies.
Best Fishing Boat - Jane Raymond and friends
Okay, technically it's not a fishing boat, but they had a fishing pole on board. We had a ribbon to give away and that was the closest we saw to anything to do with fishing.
