“COLORADO’S STRANGEST” by Kenneth Jessen

Colorado’s Strangest is a highly illustrated talk about unusual events and people in the state’s history including Packer who dined on his five companions. “Soapy” Smith was probably state’s greatest con artist with his bar of soap scam. Punes, a burro, worked the mines in the Fairplay area and was buried on the main street as a tribute to these hardworking animals. A cold winter led to the construction of a large ice palace near Leadville. These stories, including hair covered trout, are all a fun part of this presentation.
