Madame Lou Bunch Day in Central City
Brass Bed Racing – one of America’s most unique events!
Some local residents didn’t even bother getting out of bed on Saturday, June 19th. The 36th annual Madame Lou Bunch Day and Brass Bed Race hosted a few bed heads who “hit the sack” and raced, by bed, through the streets of Historic Central City.
After the 12 teams completed, the Bed Race and Costume Winners were announced at 5 pm. The “Money Off the Ceiling” party then commenced at Easy Street Casino’s Gold Coin Saloon from 5-8 pm where karaoke singing and bar top dancing entertained the guests.
Madams and Miners Ball continued the celebration at 8 pm across the street and upstairs at Doc
Holiday’s Casino. There were prizes for the best “Dandy Dan,” “Madame” and “Sporting House Girl” costumes, and they were eligible to win $50 for their category.
