Queen-muggers mum in Munger


The Potato Festival Queen has been sacked in Munger. Mi.


Two members of the committee have declined comment.
BIRCHES thinks this is outrageous, so we're gonna keep our eye on these people. They are starting to get out of hand.

Among the interesting tidbits of this story: The runner-up, who assumed the crown, was the daughter of the president of the festival committee...

The Bay City Times ran a good story about this, I happened to notice:

Talk about "Mayberry Machiavellis".

Here's the key quote from the BCTimes:

"The first runner-up, Katie Smrecak, will serve as the Potato Queen until a new queen is chosen next month. Smrecak is the daughter of Don Smrecak, chairman of the Munger Potato Festival."

Isn't that conveeeeenient?

See, the plot thickens -- just like potato soup.
