As a rule, the silver ribbon is handed over by the mayor of Valga municipality. Families who are unable to attend the reception will receive a silver medal from the Municipal Office (tel. 766 9900) within six months of the date of the reception. The gift is given to the child whose place of residence is entered in the Estonian National Population Register after the child's birth in the municipality of Valga.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Spoon events take place twice a year.
