Getting first place can be rewarding on its own, but throw in the rewards and achievements of the Fair in Stardew Valley, and it's irresistible! Here's how you too can become a champion.

To get first place at the Fall Fair in Stardew Valley, you need to submit high-quality items to the Grange exhibit. You win first place if your Grange gets over 90 points. Here’s an example of a Grange I submitted for first place:

Make sure you use all nine tile tiles if you are trying to win. Items like cheese, goat cheese, and mayo are good entries. If you can catch Iridium quality fish, that would be especially helpful. Finally, remember that crops can only reach Gold quality, not Iridium.

To get the Blue Ribbon achievement that was added in the 1.6 Update, all you need to do is get first place at the Fall Fair. Once you do that, you will automatically be awarded the achievement. It doesn't seem to work retroactively, so you won't get the achievement for getting first place before the 1.6 Update.
