Because Manitou is a small town, each year they hold a homecoming parade. Since the parade starts right in front of our apartment, we watch it every year. This year was fun. I'm 420'd out of my gourd, and was drinking beer as well. Which made for a fun parade.
Manitou Avenue is completely shut down, and even the fire department gets involved. Both the varsity and junior varsity teams ride on top of firetrucks. Even the middle school and elementary school march.
Tonight is Manitou's homecoming game. Hopefully, they'll win, and hopefully they'll score a lot. Every time they score a touchdown, they shoot off a spectacular green firework, which we can see from our apartment.
Good luck, Mustangs. Give us a great fireworks show!

@andriaperry - Everyone lights up at 4:20. Especially on April 20th.

Being a tourist town, Manitou can definitely afford it.

Good luck to your Mustangs tonight. Small towns are great. I work in Delta which is a small town and live in Gran Junction, which isn't small but not near as big as the town I'm from. I love it. Thinking of going to the apple festival in Cedaredge this weekend. Enjoy the rest of the day.

You too. I root for the team, unless they play my high school.

I used to own a manitou fork and I never had an idea that it was a town.

I had a Manitou Answer shock at one time. Awesome fork. I loved it.

Sounds like you live in a good spot where all the action is. Hopefully, it is not to noisy at night though.
