JACKSON, Wyo. — What is the Blue Ribbon Exhibit Hall? It is an opportunity and a venue for local hobbyists to showcase their talents or favorite pastime activities. All exhibits will be judged by an expert in the area as outlined in the department and class list, as well as be on display for public viewing throughout Fair Week. Best of Show & Division champions will walk away with their heads held high, colorful, commemorative Fair ribbons and prize money! All who are interested are welcome to participate.
