The Drag Races went on as scheduled, the usual crowd (though I didn't stick around to watch). People arriving early to get seats, and strollers starting to appear when I went off, some people think it's wholesome family goodness.
The big news is the former venue manager did break the gender barrier, running the race as a man, and shock of shocks, she won. Our team wins, though now I'm confused, was it a win for men or women?
As a prize, I gave her the copy of that Berenstein Bears "No Girls Allowed" taht I bought some years back and featured in the Diary a few years back. She liked that, she said she liked the Berenstein Bears. She would have gotten it anway, for merely running the race.
In retrospect, I now see one reason why the boys/girls didn't want the girls/boys to participate. Running in flat shoes is so much easier than running in high heels, our boy likely won on that basis alone. So maybe the next time a Drag King participates, there will have to be some handicapping.
