I don't display them. The first 15-20 years worth are in an expanding
file folder in a closet somewhere. . . .

I keep the medallions and my pearls (June Cleaver lives!!) on a
shelf/rack in the kitchen/dining area where they are handy to grab when
I do any media/promotional stuff on behalf of the Fair.

I'm not very organized.
