U.S. County and State Fairs
At county and state fairs in the United States, a white ribbon often denotes a third-place finish in a contest.
In some judging competitions — particularly in 4-H and FFA livestock and horticultural competitions — it can be given to a project that is particularly deficient or inferior. Superior projects and exhibits are awarded blue or red ribbons.

Famous quotes containing the words county and/or state:
“In the county there are thirty-seven churches
and no butcher shop. This could be taken

—Maxine Kumin (b. 1925)
“Art is identical with a state of capacity to make, involving a true course of reasoning. All art is concerned with coming into being ... for art is concerned neither with things that are, or come into being, by necessity, nor with things that do so in accordance with nature.”
