Get Your &$#@ Together
Posted by Chris Tippie
Yes, it is that time of the year here in Crested Butte. In a town where dogs can sometimes outnumber people, the snow is melting and things are getting quite odiferous. Crested Buttians figured out how to solve this years ago - throw a party. Well, pick up poop and then have a party. Actually, it is really pick up poop, win some great prizes based on the weight of your haul, and then have a party. PooFest 2008 is officially scheduled for tomorrow, May 17th. I am not kidding… really. As the owner of a 120 pound pooch/doormat named Gunther, people have been scoping my yard out all week.
Just thought I’d share. Also, for those who were curious about Hank the Bear - he was eventually captured and relocated to a forest about a 100 miles a way. Hopefully we won’t see him as the Colorado Dept. of Wildlife does have a three strikes policy.

Thanks for the Bear update - Although you all post some wonderful tech information, these animal stories are what keep me checking in (just kidding)… No really…
Too funny about the Poop! Growing up in a Snowy State, I know exactly what you mean.
Sadly, we had no snow here and my yard could probably win an award… maybe I could launch a festival in K-town and get everything cleaned up.

Thanks! These life experiences are what make life worth living - and sometimes blogs worth reading. Heh!
