Prizes and titles were awarded at the Triton Expo on May 25th, for the First Virtual Top Notch Tabletop Challenge. It was a blast, great turnout, beautiful afternoon. If you are a winner, and were out of town, please email info@topnotchtabletop.com.
A total of 62 entries were submitted. We were transported to the Amalfi coast, and out into the galaxy (eating long and prosper). From Havana Nights, Pop Art, Romantic evenings, a beach set up, an All-white Tabletop, a scrumptious Italian Bistro, a Mexican Fiesta, perfectly curated gardens and seashell designs for every meal of the day, to a shipwreck and its treasures, including a cluster of bubbles and seahorses hanging from the light fixtures.

At the Triton Expo we hosted our First Live Top Notch Tabletop Challenge, and we had 11 participants. Check out the beautiful displays.
