Are you ready to toss that fruit cake you got for Christmas?
#33 Unique Things to do #8 – Annual Fruitcake Toss
Search for Homes in Manitou Springs
Looking for something unique to do this weekend? Plan on coming to the 15th Annual Fruitcake Toss held in Manitou Springs. The launch is set to begin at 9:30 am on January 9, 2010 at the Manitou Spring High School. The event used to beld at the Park but it has been moved back to the the High School to allow even more room to fling the fruitcakes.
It’s the dessert that gets no respect
“The worst gift is fruitcake,” Johnny Carson once suggested. “There is only one fruitcake in the entire world, and people keep sending it to each other.” When I was a kid growing up in Kansas, but dad used to get fruitcakes from his customers and suppliers during Christmas. I truly think we threw most of them away, at least I hope we did.
What are the rules for the toss?
The rules of the Fruitcake Toss are pretty entertaining to read, and here are some of my favorites ……….the cakes cannot contain anything inedible, they’ll be inspected by the fruitcake Toss Technical inspector, if you don’t have a Fruitcake you can rent one $1.00, there are weight classes for 2 lb. and 4lb. cakes; and the launch device can’t be powered by fuel.

Manitou Springs celebrates Emma Crawford with annual coffin races and wake
Coffin Races are one of a kind
Search for Homes in Manitou Springs
Come one, come all!!! Manitou Springs is celebrating one of its most famous residents, Emma Crawford! She 
came to Manitou around the 1880’s suffering from tuberculosis then know as consumption. She was a lovely young woman and was accompanied by her Mother and fiancee. Low and behold, she started to improve in the crisp mountain air and loved to hike on Red Mountain. She was busy with planning her wedding when she took a turn for the worst. Her fiancee promised to bury her atop her favorite mountain and so when she died (1891) he did indeed bury her up there. Over the years, with all the rains, her coffin came to the top of the land and she slid down her mountain. She was then buried in an unmarked grave in the local cemetery, but the townspeople refused to forget about her.
Every year the folks in Manitou Springs hold a festival in her honor. Its held close to Halloween Read the rest of this entry »
