Tangerine Summers comes down from the stage to interact with the audience at last year's Common Ground drag performance. "A lot of people don’t know, that years ago when ya’ll was doing the Cherry Blossom festival, I was Miss Cherry Blossom," Summers said. "There was some conflict about it, but they had taken my money… My mom called me, she said ‘Boy, do you know what you done did?’ It was on the front page, but we had to be hush, hush because drag wasn’t as open as it is now. Only time we could drag was during Cherry Blossom and Halloween."
