Manitou Springs residents and people who love the city didn’t let the second cancellation of the Emma Crawford Coffin Races keep them from having fun. Hundreds of people, dressed for the occasion, watched hearses parade by on Saturday, Oct. 30.

The races were cancelled in 2020 and this year as a precaution during the pandemic, since thousands of people pack downtown for the event.
