Coffin Races
This year, on October 28, there is going to be a giant festival in Manitou called the Coffin Races. This will start at 12 o'clock and go to 4pm. The Coffin Race is exactly what it sounds like. It’s a group of people racing a bunch of coffins down Main Street. Anyone can participate, and all you need is a coffin (or box or some kind of cart). Parking spaces will be provided in the park to the people participating in the race. If you are going to watch the race, you should ride a shuttle, which will be going around every 15 to 20 minutes. There will also be different things you can buy, including a t shirt and other Coffin Race related objects. The idea of coffin races came from a woman named Emma Crawford who believed the springs in Manitou were cures for tuberculosis. Unfortunately, she passed away and was buried on Red Mountain. She was then moved on the south side of the mountain in 1912, because the Incline was being built. After hard conditions of weather and rain, her coffin moved down to the bottom of the mountain. Now, we celebrate the silly holiday of racing coffins.

A Punny Article
By: Delaney
*It might be a STRETCH to write a whole paragraph about this, but we think we've SPOTTED some great puns. I think anyone would pay a NECKle to read them, but that might be a TALL order. Do I even have the KOALAfications to write this paragraph? These might be unBEARable puns, but I think they are the SEALiest things. After everyone reads this, we might be OTTERly ashamed. The giraffe is sticking his tongue out, but TOUCAN play at that game. I bet it's getting pretty BOARing, but whatever floats your GOAT you know? We're about to GO-RILLA away, but we'll MONKEY around a little more. I bet you find this very a-MOOSE-ing. This is turning into a CATastrophy. Are we QUACKING you up yet? It might be getting a little HAWKward now...
