Naming an outdoor festival in January after the Norse god of winter is bound to make Mother Nature raise an eyebrow.
Over the Jan. 27-29 weekend, hundreds braved the windy and snowy conditions to savor the beer and music at Golden's UllrGrass festival. Temperatures were so cold on Jan. 29 that the festival moved into a heated tent.
On Jan. 28, hundreds turned out to Golden's Parfet Park, with many donning Viking helmets and bushy beards. As the beer kept flowing and the music kept playing throughout the afternoon, many attendees remained undeterred by the incoming cold front.
If anything, maybe this weekend's wintry weather helped the festival feel even more authentic.
