Ribbon Rolls for Autumn Festivals

Ribbon rolls are one of the best tools you can have for your Autumn festivals.

Choosing the right color is the easiest part! Whether it’s brown, orange or yellow (or any other color your event desires), we have the colors to get you going on the right path. Add messages that support different booths at your festival or add messages that go with packaging for goodie bags that you hand out to festival goers.

Ribbon rolls are also perfect for decorating! Give them to your vendors, volunteers and staff to decorate their spaces and make your event more festive. These ribbons will truly go the distance for your every need during your Autumn festivals.

PRO TIP: Create a custom photo booth backdrop with lengths of ribbon rolls tied into a banner that feature the date and theme of your festival.

Badge Ribbons for Autumn Festivals

Badge ribbons with messaging for your Autumn Festivals.

Invite festival goers to participate in your event by providing them with colorful badge ribbons with messages about what is happening during the festival. From costume contests to making sure that your volunteers are highly visible, badge ribbons are one of the best tools that you can use during your Autumn festival. Even match your colors to your booths or other vendor spaces!

One of the best badge ribbons is our full color version. These ribbons make it so that you can use bright colors as well as a bleed. This means that you can add nearly any messaging and graphics that you need to make your event special. Choose either vertical or horizontal ribbons to best fit your ribbon needs.

PRO TIP: Add badge ribbons to badge holders or name tags to help identify your staff and other volunteers at your event.

Custom Top Ribbons for Autumn Festivals

Add any message you need to these bright and full color ribbons to help your staff and attendees have fun during your Autumn festivals. Whether you need an award or something to give to people to remind them of the upcoming dates for your event, custom top ribbons are here to help.

One of the best features of these custom top ribbons is that you can either attach one to a name tag or give one with a record card that is personalized for any award. No matter what you choose to use custom top ribbons for, we guarantee staff and everyone who attends your Autumn festivals will remember your fun event because you have given them such a treasure to take home.

PRO TIP: If you have chosen to have contests at your festival, personalize custom top ribbons for each winner. Add the date and theme of your festival with the award placement for a unique trophy.

Personalized Ribbons for any Event

No matter how you choose to use any of these custom ribbons, remember to think outside of the box! Ribbon rolls don’t just have to be tied around a centerpiece to be useful. Badge ribbons don’t just have to be added to name tags and used for identification. Custom top ribbons aren’t just for awards. We’re curious to see how your outside of the box thinking goes. So, comment below and let us know how you used your ribbons!

State festivals and county fairs have two things in common: the elusive best of show and award ribbons.

From incredible horse shows, food demonstrations and live music to fried food, butter sculptures and roller coasters, festivals and fairs can be an incredible experience. And, don’t forget the best part: those best of show ribbons! But, before we get into our favorite topic of ribbons, let’s talk about the difference between a festival and a fair.

a festival and a fair both have something in common: best of show award ribbons

FESTIVAL vs. FAIR

Briefly, a festival is a gathering of people to celebrate something, historically religious holidays (feast days), but now also secular ones, e.g., Kwanzaa, or the Burning Man, initially held to celebrate the summer solstice. Mardi Gras is a famous New Orleans festival, a religious one celebrated more quietly in other areas.

A fair is a gathering of vendors or tradespeople for the entertainment, commerce or other purpose. There are job fairs (hardly a festival), book fairs, farm shows (also called fairs) where people show their prized livestock or farm products for the entertainment (and often sales for charity) of both fellow farmers and non-farmers alike, county fairs (mostly just summer entertainment), etc.

So, now that we know the difference between a festival and a fair, we can focus on more important things. Things like how to win your Best of Show ribbon!

While we don’t have specifics, especially when it comes to things other than ribbons themselves, on what the best looking cow is or if you have the best tasting chili, we do have a little bit of advice. No matter your location, from Texas to Minnesota, the best thing you can do to win that coveted prize ribbon is to try your hardest. Work on your craft and put the required time in to make sure you know what you’re doing.

Here at Coller Industries, that’s exactly what we do with our custom ribbons (and every personalized product we sell). We have been working on our craft for nearly 25 years, and are top in our trade. So, while we can’t really award ourselves with Best of Show ribbons (judges consider that cheating), we might just try.

But, don’t take our word for it!

Jeff Halbach, a poultry judge at last year’s Minnesota state fair, said, “The birds that end up on champion row usually are sound in body, correct and bright in color, have been cleaned and prepared for showing by their owners. And, finally, they have that winning personality.”

Emily Griffiths, also a judge (beef cattle) at the 2018 Minnesota State Fair, said, “I have always believed that beef heifer shows are very comparable to a beauty pageant in that it is about combining desirable female traits in a well-presented form with poise and style. You want an amount of body and muscle that is proportional and well suited to the animal’s frame with excellent structure. What separates an ordinary cow in the pasture from a champion at the state fair are those heifers with an extra amount of class, style, and grace. Those characteristics are not just limited to people—cattle can have those, too!”

Okay, on to those elusive Best of Show ribbons!
