That was years ago, back in 1993. Grandson Trygve Bauge is now back in Norway, but Grandpa is still in residence in Nederland. And now the town has an annual festival built up around him: Frozen Dead Guy Days!
It's next weekend, March 4-6, 2011, with events ranging from the Coffin Race, classes (cryogenics for kids!!), a Polar Plunge, ReAnimate Yourself Beer Tent, a Parade...and of course, visits to Grandpa. Learn more about the schedule here. Background info here. Don't miss it!
P.S. Yummy extra note: Glacier Ice Cream, headquartered in the nearby city of Boulder, makes a flavor specifically for the festival (named, appropriately enough, Frozen Dead Guy), consisting of fruit-flavored blue ice cream mixed with crushed Oreo cookies and sour gummy worms.

Hi Cindy:
I'm going to be debuting a new event at Frozen Dead Guy Days this year: "The Newly-Dead Game"! It's like the TV show of a similar name, but we are testing couples on how well they know each others' last wishes. Maybe your daughter can suggest some couples to play?
You can find more info about it at my blog, The Family Plot:

Gail, I'll mention this to her! (Daughter's name is Angel Brick, by the way; her boyfriend's name is Keith Facchin.) I am chuckling to myself yet again...only wish I was going to be in CO next weekend to join in the festivities.
Thanks so much for writing.
How ironic, I've been telling Keith that we are TOTALLY entering the Newly-Dead Game!! (Whether it's against his will or not, HA!).
There are tons of couples in Ned who would be great at this game, I think.
How interesting, I've been telling Keith that we should enter the Newly-Dead Game!! (Whether it's against his will or not, HA!)
