Exciting news from the Colorado Springs Chapter of the National Federation of the Blind. This Saturday, we will participate in the great Emma Crawford Memorial Coffin Race. Who says we don't find interesting ways to reach out to the community?
Emma Crawford Memorial Coffin Race
Saturday October 25
800 block of Manitou Ave.
Parade at 12:00 p.m.
Races begin at 12:30 p.m.
Our coffin will be the National Federation of the Blind and The Independence Center. Chapter member and Independence Center consumers are welcome to join in the parade and we have signs for people to carry. Join us in cheering our team on. Three of our chapter members will be participating in the race: Randy Hampton, Mike Jackson, and Jeanette Fortin. Call Jeanette Fortin at 719-332-7549 if you have any questions. During the late 1990s, our Colorado Springs chapter built and raced a coffin in this quirky Manitou Springs event. It is a classic annual Halloween event. Come join us for the fun. It should be a spooktacular good time. For more information about the legend of Emma Crawford, visit http://www.emmacrawfordfestival.com/emma-crawford.html.
