2009 Conference Summary

Soapers Showcase

Every year a "Soapers Showcase" is held at the HSMG Annual Conference. Attendees bring their soaps, which are divided into categories, displayed and then voted on by the attendees. This year, as usual, the soaps were spectacular! A special Thank You! to Shay and Company for their sponsorship of the Soapers Showcase.

2009 Conference - Soapers Showcase

Attendees checked out the soaps and then submitted their ballots for the best in each of the different categories.

And The Winners Are ...

After all the votes were tablulated, the winners in all six categories were selected. Of those, the one that received the most votes was crowned "Best In Show". All winners received certificates at the Awards Dinner and Donna Puizina, winner of Best In Show, received a trophy.
