Braxton Stewart, 6, is serenaded with “Happy Birthday” by a group of rodeo cowboys at William Cherry Agricultural Exposition Center. Braxton was part of a group of special needs children treated to a show put on by the Murray State University rodeo team. A pile-up ensues as participants begin running in the annual High Heel Drag Queen Race in Washington DC. The race takes place every year around Halloween on R St Northwest. Many of the participants are not professional or amateur drag queens on a regular basis, and thus have difficulties finishing the event, which lasts for about three city blocks. A spring day on the banks of the Hocking River, Athens, Ohio. Dean S. Davis of Athens, OH, is one of the regulars at the Smiling Skull, a biker bar on West Union Street. Davis, a retired psychoanalyst, says many of the clients assigned to him by the state used to be bikers who had “done some really bad stuff.” One told him of shooting a police officer in the face at point blank range. “He told me he had done what he had to do, and was only sorry he’d been caught.” He says the Smiling Skull is the only bar in Athens that he frequents.
