For the last seven years, the
Frozen Dead Guy Days festival has been held the first weekend in March in Nederland, Colorado, home to a cryogenically frozen man, Grandpa Bredo -- the celebration's "man of honor." Last weekend,
Joanna Kakissis attended the three-day shindig. Stocking hats bearing the festival logo kept these two women warm during the snowy slow-motion parade.
