🏅♻️ Have a collection of Exhibition ribbons you’ve admired long enough? Ready to Marie Kondo your prize shelf? 👀

We are looking for gently used ribbons to help us launch a ribbon recycling initiative! Rather than letting old ribbons sit in drawers, boxes, barns, or “that one kitchen junk drawer,” donate them back so they can be repurposed and given a second life. 🌱

🐄 Horse show ribbons
🌻 Exhibition ribbons
🎃 Fair & community competition ribbons
…if they’ve brought you joy, now they can help bring joy again!

Drop-off at our office Mon-Fri between 10-3 or make arrangements by contacting:

Help us keep a little tradition out of the landfill — and maybe clear up some shelf space while you’re at it 😉
