Candace,
I too give the ribbons back to the societies. I like having the ribbons on my plants in the display, but unless it's a 'Best Paph Hybrid' or 'Best Paph Species' or something like that, I give them back. The first show or two I kept them and then realized that the cost to the society could be spared if they could 're-gift' them.

Exactly what I do. There are several growers in my society that do this too. At the end of the show, when we're taking everything down there are always ribbons sitting on the table that people didn't feel the need to take home, so we collect them and put them back in the box to reuse for the next show.
