History 1953 & 1954 Hot Rod Hill Climb - Georgetown, Colorado

We got fine service at the Red Ram last time we were in town.

 

Yes Georgetown is AWESOME!!

Your car SO qualified!!

 

This is off-topic, but I wonder if this old Ford is still in Georgetown? I took note of it becuase of the unusual front fender skirts and 4WD conversion.

 

This was in neighboring Silver Plume.

 

Yup! I believe it WAS the Red Ram that had the singing bartender. He had a leather apron. I think the serving staff were the chorus. If I remember correctly.

I sure as heck will try to make the event, if it's held next year!

Hot Rod Hill Climb is ON!!

 

Very cool!! I like how you stop at the stop signs you blow in the video!! hahaha

 

Excellent question. it has to be interesting, or you wouldn't have mentioned it

 

Read the local newspaper article of the coverage from the 50's posted on first page, 8/15/13 post:

"That hot rod hill climb was a feature of a two-day celebration climaxing the summer festival here. The Lakota Indians, a non-profit group devoted to preserving former Indian customs, also performed and the Georgetown Players presented the final performances of 'East Lynne' twice in at McClellan Hall."

I'm guessing the tee pee belonged to the Lakota Indians group, setup for the summer festival.

 

Nice find! Yes that's it. The Lakota were there performed. Pretty cool! Maybe next year we'll bring them back.

 

Two videos came up this week, fantastic representation of the event!!
