Colorado has a lot of great festivals, but Frozen Dead Guy Days is by far the strangest. FDGD takes place every year in Nederland, CO the first week of March. The festival honors Bredo Morstoel's frozen corpse that now lies, packed in dry ice, in a Tuff Shed in the hills of Nederland. When Morstoel died in 1989 of a heart condition, his family decided to freeze their beloved grandpa to preserve his body in hopes that new technology would be developed and one day he could be thawed and brought back to life. So, what's on the agenda for FDGD? Here's some of the fun activities you can participate in:
*Frozen Turkey Bowling
*Coffin Races
*Brain Freeze Contest
*Frozen Salmon Toss
*Snow Beach Volleyball
*Polar Plunge
*Parade of Hearses
*Ice Break Dancing

Stay Warm,
