Frozen Dead Guy Days

I'm sorry it's been awhile since I last posted. I've been deep into interviews and "real world" work finding - but to no avail, yet. I figure I might as well let my creative side out to play and show you all what we've been up to lately.

Well, it was early March so it's been a few weeks, but this is the excitement we've been up to these days. Frozen Dead Guy Days. Yup, you heard me right. Only in small town Colorado (Nederland to be exact) would they invent a weekend long festival deadicated (hehe...I mean dedicated) to the frozen grandpa out back in the Tuff Shed.

Long story short, a gentleman was cryogenically frozen overseas and sent back to relatives in Nederland for safe keeping...breaking several international customs rules along the way I imagine. He is now in the care of his grandson, who hires people to re-pack him in dry ice monthly, and even accommodates tours every now and then.

Festival activities include a hearse parade, polar plunge, coffin races, and even frozen turkey bowling. ;) My camera batteries were low so I just captured the coffin races - probably the most entertaining of activities. Enjoy - we did!!!!
