Did you ever wonder why those particular hues — along with other Christmas colors like gold, white and purple ... you'll have a new appreciation for red, green and gold.

The annual Red, White & Gold Day is Saturday, May 17 with games starting at 9:30am. Tamarac has honored the memory of one its own players in the past after Evan Franz passed away from brain cancer.

The white symbolizes the snowy mountains, gold for sunshine, red for the state's soil and blue for the sky. The "C" stands the state's name, the columbine (the state's flower) and centennial.
