==Emma Crawford Coffin Memorial Races==
The town of Manitou Springs Colorado, USA decided "to put 'fun' into funeral" in 1994 while looking for ideas to boost tourism. 〔("Colorado coffin races put the 'fun' in funereal" ), by Rob Lovitt, Oct. 26, 2012, today.com, NBC News (retrieved November 26, 02015)〕 The Emma Crawford Memorial Coffin Races was based on a local story of a Emma Crawford who wished to be buried at the top of Red Mountain. She was later reburied on a slope due to construction by Louisville and Nashville Railroad Company. Over time due to erosion the coffin became exposed and slid down into the canyon, where it was found and reburied at the Crystal Valley Cemetery. 〔("Emma Crawford Coffin Races & Parade" ) (retrieved November 26, 02015)〕 The Races is full day event during the weekend close to the Halloween, which, in part, includes the the Emma Crawford Parade. The race itself involves a team of five: Emma and four "mourners", all costumed, who have to push their coffin 195 yards to the finish. The teams race in pairs down the street. In addition, the participants contest for 'Best Emma', 'Best Entourage', and 'Best Coffin' awards during the Parade.〔
