The Manitou Pollinators in the 25th Annual Emma Crawford Coffin Race!

Thanks to everyone who helped us participate in the 25th Anniversary Emma Crawford Coffin Race on Saturday, October 26th, 2019!

We had a wonderfully colorful coffin to race amidst 70 others. It was a great opportunity to share our Pollinator Project’s purpose to promote and protect Pollinators with 10,0000 spectators and news media.

IN MEMORY OF EMMA CRAWFORD

The tradition continues...


"In 1995, the Manitou Springs Chamber of Commerce started the first coffin races in the nation, in memory of a beloved member of Manitou Springs. In the years since, the races have grown into an often-copied-but-never-equaled Manitou Springs tradition."
