The event celebrates Nederland’s most famous resident, a man named Bredo. His body is preserved on dry ice in a shed.

After 10  years at the helm, Amanda MacDonald told CBS4 she’s calling it quits.

“It’s a lot to take on, you know, and the risk of it all… all of the financial responsibilities… it’s just a little too much,” MacDonald said.

She hopes to form a nonprofit with members of the community who can keep the festival going.
