The people of Eldorado just won't give up. In what ringleader Jim Runge claims is yet another attempt to catch the eye of the International Olympic Committee and land Eldorado as the site of a future Olympic Games, the town's residents will hold a protest march protesting protest marches.
The un-protest is being called the Dozen Man March, though at last report, less than 12 participants have registered.
The event, to be held leap day, Feb. 29, will coincide with a special Sadie Hawkins celebration, in which single women will compete in a race to catch single men. Those who are snared will be forced to attend the subsequent dance and reception as their captors' dates.
Previous calls for attention by the so-called Eldorado Olympic Bid Organizing Committee include the Running of the Bull, the Elgoatarod and the Armchair Decathlon.

The men and women of the Fort Worth Herd, the longhorn-cattle drive that runs down Exchange Avenue twice daily, are mourning the loss of one of their own.
