Happy birthday, Colorado! Although technically the state turned 148 on August 1, the big party is today at the History Colorado Center, as well as the nine other History Colorado sites, where admission is free. Other bashes will continue around the state through tomorrow (find a list on Celebrate Colorado).
On the Centennial State’s actual 148th birthday, we asked readers to tell us their favorite thing about Colorado. Answers Rita:
Everything! And the people are the ginchiest!
Adds Sharon:
Everything! Was from Pennsylvania…
Responds Barbara:
It’s not Texas, Georgia, Alabama, Indiana, Iowa, Florida…
Says Mónica:
Rocky Ford melon season (and fresh veggies)!

The plains.

The Rockies!
Notes Howard:
When you squish it flat it is 22x the surface of earth (per Colo Public Radio)
Offers Johnny:
Sunshine.
Adds Britney:
Looking at the ever-color changing mountain sunsets.
Observes Gordon:
Being able to breathe…oh, wait…
Concludes Joe:
Isn’t everyone high on Colorado? (And in Colorado?)
