“Displays such as this one epitomises what the show is all about.”

Leanne Hamel accepted the trophy on behalf of the store. 

“There are so many people to thank for every piece of this display,” Ms Hamel said.

“This one took about 10 hours to complete in the window.

“The backdrop, which is made up of various seeds and beans, will go on display within the store when it comes out of the window.

“The backdrop features the historic pavilions at Glen Innes Showground,” she said.

The display contains replicas of produce typical of a country farming area.

These are presented in a unique and beautiful way for the public to see.

Mung beans, sunflower seeds and rice grains will be looked at in a whole new light after people see this window display.
