Growing up, many children enjoy unicorns and dream of having one someday. Is this belief one of the reasons we love kids, and is it sad that so many of us lose our innocence as we get older? This month, dreams will come true for many children in Colorado, and many will get to finally live out their childhood fantasy. The Unicorn Festival is happening this month in Colorado, and it is an event that nobody will want to miss if they have ever liked or wanted a unicorn or wanted to be a princess.
