Frozen Dead Guy Days!
March means it’s time for the Frozen Dead Guy Days Festival in Nederland, Colorado, in the mountains west of Boulder. Yes, there is a real frozen dead guy at the center of this wild and wacky festival that takes place March 8-10, 2019. Last year, more than 25,000 people attended!
Gail Rubin, The Doyenne of Death®, will return to conduct The Newly-Dead Game®, as she has done since 2011, and show the comedic documentary, “Grandpa’s in the TUFF Shed.” This year, she is introducing the Individuals Edition of The Newly-Dead Game, which enables everyone in the audience to play along. At this Morning Mixer meeting on March 7, attendees will give the Individuals Edition of The Newly-Dead Game a try!
