GOLDEN HISTORY MOMENT

Krazy Daze Ads for Golden Businesses – enlarge


57 Years Ago
The October 27, 1966 Colorado Transcript was filled with ads for Krazy Daze. This promotion was launched by the Chamber in 1963. It included sales in the stores and some really wild costumes by the downtown merchants. The downtown denizens held a contest for best costume in various categories. The event culminated with a party for the downtown employees.

Costumes shown in Transcript articles, 1963-1976 – enlarge

The online Transcripts currently go through mid-1992. The last Crazy Days (as it was spelled some years) covered in the paper was in October of 1988.

Thanks to the Golden History Museum for providing the online cache of historic Transcripts, and to the Golden Transcript for documenting our history since 1866!
