I have assumed that all trophy cups are silver because gold is so much more expensive! Wow, no wonder it's such a coveted prize! Thanks for that information.

Your grandson has it right :).Farm Fancieshttp://farmfancies.blogspot.com.aunoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3734114716319159508.post-24840358802473882122012-11-08T13:29:57.008+11:002012-11-08T13:29:57.008+11:00She's very perceptive...and she repeated all t...She's very perceptive...and she repeated all this to her mother when she picked her up.
