    by Patty Unruh

    All bunny trails led to the Gilpin Community Center (GCC) last Saturday, March 24, for its annual Easter eggstravaganza.  A crowd of kids from birth to age 12 and their parents celebrated the start of spring break with indoor egg hunts, games, and prizes. It was hard to tell who was having more fun – the children or the grinning moms, dads, and grandparents who were watching and photographing those special moments. “Happy Easter” greetings filled the air.

    What does it take for a person to get their head shaved in front of an audience?

    It takes self-effacing courage and a sense of humor – especially when the audience is a gym full of noisy school students. And when the local media shows up with a camera and asks, “Why are you getting your head shaved?” these special folks give gracious responses and allow their photos to be taken. (more…)

    “Grandpopsicle” Morstoel haunts the Rockies

    By Aaron Storms

    Driving into Nederland, CO on Saturday, lines of cars were parked along the highway for a mile leading into town. If you didn’t know already, the 17th annual Frozen Dead Guy Days festival was taking place, and there were throngs of people for as far as you could see from Hwy 119 all the way down to Guercio Park by Barker Reservoir, and on every other highway leading into town from Boulder and Estes Park. Finally locating a parking spot, I parked the Jeep and strolled down East 1st Street, taking in all the sights and sounds. Even with the falling snow and chilly temps, there were poets espousing prose from makeshift stages, frozen turkey bowling in the street, beer tents and live music along both sides, and interesting people of all ages and walks of life to talk to.
