The sign does not indicate the nature of the award or who may have presented it. No one in the bakery knew anything about the award. No copy of the award was posted. It all seems rather suspicious.
Most donut awards are presented to people that can eat the most donuts in the shortest period of time. Donut Bar, a business in San Diego, claims to have numerous awards for super donuts, if you can call feeding one to Ellen Degeneres on television an award. They don't display copies of any awards on their website.
Any donut bakery may have won a blue ribbon at the Cerro Gordo County Fair in Mason City, IA or even the big blue ribbon at the Colorado State Fair in Pueblo. No such ribbon, even a red or white one from a lesser fair, like those given out at the Phelps County Fair in Holdredge, NB, is visible anywhere in the supermarket. Evidently, the country needs a donut contest, like the failing Miss America Pageant, to authenticate the quality of the donut and root out donut impostors.
