For a town like Nederland that thrives on the colorful, the offbeat,
and the weird, Frozen Dead Guy Days is a fitting way to end the
short days of winter and head into the melting snows of spring.
The story stretches from Norway to California to Colorado, involving
cryonics, deportation, psychics, celebrations, and a dedicated
Ice Man.
It's a tale that has captured international attention and sparked
a must-attend annual event called Frozen Dead Guy Days. The community
experiences a new burst of life with the festival's creative contests,
icy events (including the Polar Plunge jump into frigid water),
fundraisers, parades, and parties.
People come from around the world every March to experience the
legacy of Grandpa Bredo ë even representatives of cryonics organizations
who want share the science behind this unique story.
