High above the ground, nestled between the mighty Rockies, the state of Colorado stretches out like a giant sandwich full of adventure. Imagine a massive grilled cheese, with the mountains as the golden, toasted bread, and the plains as the cheesy middle. Where the wild and whimsy rivers run like ketchup and the wildflowers bloom like popcorn on a theater floor. In this quirky land, there's a group of daring kids known as the Fencing Fanatics of Colorado. They're not your ordinary bunch. No siree! They don't build picket fences or defend their treehouses with wooden sticks, oh no. These kids are modern-day knights with shiny metallic swords, who swish and swoosh, parry and lunge, all in the name of fencing. Leading the pack is Captain Clancy, a chortling chipmunk with a helmet that's two sizes too big and cheeks stuffed with acorns. Don't be fooled by his fluffy tail, because when he picks up his epee sword, he's faster than a lightning bolt, sharper than a porcupine quill. In Colorado, these kids don't just fence, they dance! With the mountains as their backdrop, they pirouette and leap, jab and retreat, transforming their fencing matches into breathtaking ballets. And when they're not fencing, they're skiing down the slopes, hiking through the forests, and enjoying the biggest grilled cheese sandwich of a state they call home. So, if you ever find yourself in the marvellous lands of Colorado, keep your eyes peeled for a chipmunk sporting a fencing mask. That's Captain Clancy and the Fencing Fanatics, ready to spar, laugh, and show you just how fun fencing can be!
