Frozen Dead Guy Days saw a lot of change this year with its move to Estes Park, but many festival attendees thought it was the best one yet.
Nederland residents Karen and Kurt Lichfuss agreed. They’re longtime FDGD attendees, and their absolutely killer outfits meant they were stopped every ten feet for a photo opportunity with visitors. “I think they’re rocking it," Karen said."Absolutely. It’s a great venue; it’s a beautiful location." The Royal Blue Ball , held the night before"was out of this world," she added,"because it’s just the atmosphere in the ballroom.
The Bride or Die team, a bachelorette party that eventually won Best Theme Team, racing to the finish line.Chaotic and manic at times, the coffin races were the greatest example of how FDGD has cleaned up. “It used to be much, much more rough around the edges. A bunch of mud, snow, people hucking ice balls at you while you’re running,” said a racer from a former winning team, Feelin’ Nauti.
And that was exactly what these organizers wanted to do — encourage good, clean fun and discourage the type of behavior that one participant described as follows: “We’re mostly here to do a bunch of coke and black out, and yeah, we’ll see how that goes.” The event was full of security, and EMTs roamed the event at the ready.
And although Grandpa Bredo was not an attendee this year — the frozen body is still in Nederland — it’s probably just a matter of time. Cullen has met twice with Bredo's grandson, Trygve Brauge, and festival organizers say that negotiations with the family are ongoing, as there is the challenge of safely and legally transporting a cryogenically frozen body from a Tuff Shed in Ned to an ancient icehouse in Estes.
