Well, consider me corrected! Just learned today, via a friend who knows more about ribbons than I, that traditional place colors in the U.S. are: First - Blue Second - Red Third - Yellow Fourth - White Fifth - Pink Sixth - Green Not white for third as I've seen. Also of note: "Canada reverses the colors for first and second, so that first is red and second is blue. I believe the same is true in the U.K. If you order from the right company, the set up charges pertain to printing changes only. They couldn't care less what color ribbon they print on. Typically the fee for printing changes runs $10-20 per change." Which would seem to support my theory that it'd be pricey to print each category but cheap to have as many colors as we want. - Erik ------------------ To unsubscribe from this list, e-mail majordomo@aquatic-gardeners.org with "unsubscribe aga-contest" in the body of the message.
