Breckenridge's Ullr Fest, its annual winter carnival, will be early this year. It starts this coming weekend. Ullr, the mythical Norse god of snow is honored at this annual winter festival. The winter carnival began way back in the late 60s when the Norwegian population in Breckenridge came up with the idea. They got in a bit of trouble with the U.S. Government when they minted coins for the festival. The coins were actually worth money and could be used to purchase items in Breckenridge. The U.S. Treasury did not think highly of this. Above is a photo of last years parade.
Sign up to build a float for the 2007 Ullr Fest Parade where "Nobody's Cooler than Ullr" is the theme. Those interested can register at gobreck.com or contact Larissa Enns at the Breckenridge Resort Chamber at (970) 453-5055 by Jan. 9.
