Ribbon Sets
Ribbons are used to denote the place award to exhibitors for their fair entries. These can be set for places 1 through 12 for each class. The ribbon sets are assigned to premium tables, which include the amount paid for each placing. There are two ribbon sets that are user definable and can be customized as needed. Use the most common ribbon set in the fair as ribbon set 1 because it is the default on the premium tables.
