- (UPI) Andy Swyne pulled away from an impressive field to ride his kitten Fluffy to victory in the annual Queen's
- Cup race at the Nanny County Fair yesterday. The $40,000 grand prize will go toward's Andy's college fund. Bea
- Volly and Chet Honehocker tied for second place and will equally split the prizes for second and third places, except
- Chet will get a little more since he's a boy and probably let Bea go ahead of him.

- On a more tragic note, several of the entrants were crushed to death by their overweight riders. Several protesters
- submitted petitions to place weight rules for the organized kitten racing event. Fair organizer Bradfin Pinchoat
- commented: "Well, if you are going to have kitten racing, you're going to have some incidents. I just don't see the
- sense of it. We all have a good time, and besides, the cats really enjoy it."
