Special Ribbon Recognition
Bring more exhibits and receive a special ribbon recognition.
Each year the challenge of the competitive exhibits departments is to:
- Include new people to exhibit
- Increase or maintain the number of exhibits
- Value exhibitors who bring a large number of exhibits
Again this year, a large colorful Special Ribbon will be awarded in different departments and divisions to individuals exhibiting the most exhibits (6 or more in any one division) in the given department. For example, the most poultry entries, the most canning entries, the most flower entries, etc.
How do I know if I've won?
Find out how your entires did by visiting your exhibit at the fair. We also post the winner's list on the website the week after the fair.
