Coffin Races Results

The 2016 Emma Crawford Coffin Race had prizes in the following categories:
Fastest Time - 1st, 2nd and 3rd place
Best Emma - judged
Best Entourage - judged
Best Coffin - judged

The race results went as follows:
1st place was Team 9 - 3per Reaper with an amazing time of 23:88 seconds
3rd place went to the Haramboys.  Not much in the way of a costume here.
 
2nd place went to MGA Pediatric Home Healthcare.

 


 The judged competition caused a little controversy in my scattered mind.  Best Emma went to Ghouls Gulch.  I can't even find their Emma in the pictures - can you?

 
There were so many great Emma's - Here is a selection of some of my favorites











 We also had an animal Emma and a male Emma.

Lady M's pick for best Emma of 2016 - This gal with the Colorado Springs Rising Professionals.  This Emma never broke character even when she was flying down Manitou Avenue.
 

 
 
 
Best Entourage went to "And You Will Know Us by the Trail of Dead" It was very large, finely dressed and had great props.







 

However Lady M's pick for best entourage went to Memorial Hospital ICU for their Beetlejuice Theme. Honorable mention goes to First Avenue B&B for the Wizard of OZ.  I love that dog dressed as a flying monkey.







 
 
Finally, best coffin went to the Steampunk Zombies.  It certainly was an impressive sight. Not surprisingly, they ran a very slow race pushing that thing.  Lady M will agree with the judges choice on this one.
 
There were many noteworthy coffins:


Tiny house guys

 


Bee Society


Team Booz
 

3 Hundred Days of Shine

All in all, an impressive display.  Have you chosen your favorites?
