Every state seems to have their own quirks that only their natives fully understand… wouldn’t you agree? While it may seem like Colorado doesn’t have anything like this, those looking in may beg to differ. To give you a better example, check out these 14 things Coloradoans do that seem insane to everyone else:
- We make an entire weekend out of celebrating some frozen dead guy…
Frozen Dead Guy Days Facebook The 16th Annual Frozen Dead Guy Days takes place March 10th-12th, 2017, in Nederland.
- …a Manitou Springs woman whose coffin slid down a mountain…
Manitou Springs Emma Crawford Coffin Races Facebook The 22nd Annual Emma Crawford Coffin Race & Parade takes place October 28th, 2017, in Manitou Springs.
- …and some creepy headless chicken.
Mike The Headless Chicken Facebook The 19th Annual Mike the Headless Chicken Festival takes place June 2nd and 3rd, 2017, in Fruita.
