Found on the AP Wire Today at Work:
(Nederland, Colorado-AP) -- Almost every town has a festival.
Nederland (NEH'-der-land), Colorado, is making its mark with "Frozen Dead Guy Days."
For the second year, residents of this town near Boulder are honoring an 89-year-old Norwegian man who was cryogenically frozen after his death in 1989 and stored in a shed in town.
Local officials tried to stop the experiment. But once they figured out there wasn't much they could do, residents decided to make it the focus of a winter festival.
Yesterday, a slow-moving parade complete with the shed and a grim reaper passed through town. Then, there were coffin races in a city park and a "frozen dead guy" lookalike contest.
The festival ends today.
Wow. That sure beats the hell out of "Coal Miner Days" in Novinger, Missouri.
They actually have a website for the Festival: www.frozendeadguy.com/
