TEENS, Inc. cleared the first hurdle in its plan to build an expanded child care center on Nederland's Old Town Shop site with the recent approval of its special use review by the Nederland trustees.
Bizarre Cat Bazaar will replace Frozen Dead Guy Days in Nederland and honor Fred the cat, a friendly stray who won town mayor in the late '70s. It will hold almost 30 vendors, a giant pool, all-day performances and a cat-themed costume contest.
Frozen Dead Guy Days got started as a small community event more than 20 years ago. It came about because of an improbable series of events that brought the cryogenically frozen body of a dead Norwegian man the locals call him ”Grandpa” to Nederland.
