I have had quite a few questions on what is the difference between a 1st place blue ribbon and the grand champion ribbon, so I will try to explain.
The fair breaks out different categories into departments.  From the departments the break down into classes.  The classes are then broken down into lots.

• Department 20 - Canning and Preservation
•           Class M - Relishes/Sauces
•                      Lot 1 - BBQ Sauce
•                      Lot 2 - Catsup
•                      Lot 3 - Chili Sauce
•                     The Lots continue through Lot 15

Each Lot awards a First (Blue Ribbon), Second (Red Ribbon) and Third (White Ribbon) place ribbon.  Then all of the 1st place items in the lot are judged for a Grand Champion (Purple Ribbon) and Reserve Champion (Pink Ribbon) in that class.  The zucchini relish that I referred to in yesterday's post went up against 15 other items to be declared the best relish/sauce that was entered in the fair this year.
