Lumnandi usuku lweColorado!
Nge-1 ka-Agasti ka-1876, uMongameli u-Ulysses S. Grant wasayina isibhengezo esivuma ukuba iColorado ngurhulumente. Ngomhla ongabalulekanga kangako phantse iminyaka eyi-129 kamva, ndaye ndaya kule meko intle. Ndiqale ndafudukela kwindawo yaseDenver ukusuka kwindawo yaseSt. Ekuqaleni ndandingenazicwangciso zokuhlala eColorado ixesha elide, kodwa njengoko ndandityhubela iminyaka yam emibini yokuthweswa isidanga kwaba nzima kwaye kwaba nzima ngakumbi ukuzibona sendibuyela ekhaya eMidwest. Ndiza kubona amanqwanqwa kwisibuko sam esingasemva xa ndishiya indlu. I-mop yam yeenwele ezijijekileyo ilula kakhulu ukugcina i-frizz-free kunye nokungabikho kokufuma. Sifumana iintsuku ezingama-300 kunye nokudibanisa ilanga. Kule minyaka ili-16 idlulileyo, iColorado iyeyona ndawo ndaqala kuyo umsebenzi wam, ndatshata, kwaye ndakhulisa usapho lwam. Ndikhe ndayibona iDenver neColorado itshintsha kakhulu kule minyaka ili-16, kodwa ndisemi encotsheni yentaba ngokumangaliswa okukhulu noloyiko njengosuku endafika ngalo apha.
Ukuhlonipha ilizwe lethu elithandekayo ngoSuku lweColorado, ndemba ezinye zezona zinto zimnandi kwiCentennial State trivia endinokuyifumana:

Ngo-Meyi ka-1970 emva kokuba abapolitiki bekhankase phantse iminyaka engama-20, iKomiti yeOlimpiki yamanye amazwe yanikezela nge-Olimpiki yaseBusika ye-Olimpiki ngo-1976 eDenver. Umlinganiso wokuvota ubandakanyiwe kunyulo lukaNovemba 1972 lokugunyazisa i-5 yezigidi zeedola zokuxhasa iindleko zeziseko zokuxhasa imidlalo. Abavoti baseDenver bayala ngokugqithileyo umba we-bond ngomgama we-60-40. Kwiveki emva kokuvota, uDenver washiya ngokusemthethweni isikhundla sakhe njengesixeko esisingathiweyo.
IColorado yakha yanabalawuli abathathu ngosuku olunye. Unyulo luka-1904 phakathi kukaDemocrat u-Alva Adams kunye no-Republican uJames H. Peabody lwaluzele yinkohlakalo. U-Alva Adams wanyulwa kwaye ekugqibeleni wathatha isikhundla, kodwa unyulo lwaluphikiswa. Kamva uphando lwafumanisa ubungqina bobuqhetseba bokuvota ngawo omabini amaqela. U-Adams wayesele ethathe i-ofisi kodwa wathatyathwa ngu-Peabody ngo-Matshi 16, 1905 phantsi komqathango wokuba arhoxe kwisithuba seeyure ezingama-24.

Singaqwalasela iColorado njengendawo yokudlala ebusika, kodwa ungabanjwa ukuphonsa ibhola yeqhwa kumntu e-Aspen, eColorado. Ukuphosa into (kubandakanya neebhola zekhephu) okanye ukukhupha isixhobo kwizakhiwo zikawonke-wonke, ipropathi yabucala, okanye komnye umntu kukwaphula umthetho wasekhaya wokulwa nemijukujelwa oza nesohlwayo njengesohlwayo.
Ngaba iJolly Ranchers kwisitya sakho seelekese? UnoBill noDorothy Harmsen waseDenver, eColorado ukubulela ngaleyo! Inkampani iJolly Rancher yadalwa ngo-1949 kwaye ekuqaleni yayithengisa itshokholethi kunye ne-ayisikrimu ukongeza kwiilekese ezinzima, kodwa i-ayisi khrim yayingathandwa kakhulu ngexesha lobusika beColorado.
IColorado yayilikhaya kumqhubi wenqwelomoya omdala kunabo bonke. Wazalwa ngo-Matshi 14, 1902, unyaka nje omnye phambi kokubalekela uWright Brothers, uCole Kugel waseLongmont, eColorado wayekhe wabamba irekhodi lomqhubi wenqwelomoya omdala kunabo bonke. Usweleke ngoJuni 2007, kodwa wabhabha okokugqibela eneminyaka eyi-105 kwangoko kulo nyaka.
Ungayazi iDenver's Buckhorn Exchange kwiintloko zezilwanyana ezininzi ezinamathele ezindongeni. Kodwa ubusazi ukuba le restyu ikhutshelwe iphepha-mvume lokuqala emva koThintelo? Intsomi ithi ngexesha lokuthintela (xa indawo yokutyela yaguqulwa yathengwa), umniniyo wayezikhupha izonka ze-pumpernickel ukufihla iibhotile ze-bootleg whisky ukuze azithengisele abathengi.
Izibane zokuqala zeKrisimesi zaboniswa ecaleni kwe-16th Isitalato iMall eDenver.

Imifanekiso eqingqiweyo enikezelwa kwiiMbasa zeGrammy yenziwa minyaka le eColorado yindoda egama linguJohn Billings. Xa uBillings wayengumntwana eCalifornia, wayehlala kufutshane noBob Graves, umyili wokuqala womfanekiso oqingqiweyo weGrammy. Iibhiliyoni zaqala ukufundela phantsi kweMangcwaba ngo-1976 kwaye zathatha ishishini ngo-1983 xa i-Graves yafa. U-Billings wafudukela eColorado kungekudala. Ngaxa lithile, uBillings wazenzela ngokwakhe zonke iiGrmmy. Kodwa ngo-1991, waphinda wahlengahlengisa lo mfanekiso kwaye ngokuthe ngcembe wongeza abantu kwiqela lakhe, eqeqesha umntu ngamnye ukuba asebenze ngononophelo umfanekiso ngamnye.
