Chloride adds bathtubs to annual bed races

CHLORIDE – “Okay, take your bath and off to bed with ya”. That ritual will take on a whole new meaning as Chloride hosts its first Bed and Bath Race during this historic mining town’s Old Miner’s Day celebration on Saturday, October 19. Everyone from near and far are invited to participate in this first-ever combined competition pitting beds against tubs or any combination of as they go for the coveted title of fastest bed or tub west of the Pecos. There will be several categories including corporate, student and open.

The race will take the combatants down Chloride’s scenic Second Street to the screams of cheering fans. There will be live music playing during the race to give the racers more drive. The race will commence following a parade and gunfights. Time to start building your unique vehicle and designing your zaniest costumes! Please no motorized beds or tubs allowed. For more information call Gary at 702-203-3018.
