I am a little confused.. You mean Chicago and Champaign are both correct? Actually Champaign airport was owned by Ben's family.
The trophy was presented to Ben Harris for his speedster but the caption I found relating to the picture is rather obscure,
Is the model/actress Celeste Ravelle?

Yes, it was Champaign Airport in Chicago. What kind of event? That's no hard.
The actress was under contract at MGM for 10 years. Not Celeste Ravelle.
1953 is correct!
