Have you ever wondered about the ribbons seen hanging from the badges? Although this group is only a few years old, it has quickly grown into a tradition here at Dragon Con. “The Loyal Order of the Ribbon” met Saturday at 10AM in Hyatt Grand Hall D to exchange ribbons and mix and mingle.

This group hands out ribbons to anyone during the Con. It’s not about trading, though many do—it’s a way of giving people a little joy without expectations. Some participates have yards of ribbons attached to their badges, some save and collect them, and some only want a select few.

It’s fun and a great way to meet a new friend and a colorful way to add that little something-something to your badge.
