JantzenOn Sunday, August 26, 2012, local drag queen Summer Camp celebrated her fifth year of the “Summer Games,” a series of Olympics-inspired contests held in Meridian Hill / Malcolm X Park.  Instead of Queen Elizabeth opening the London Games, Summer Camp wore the flag of the United Kingdom. The Games were sponsored by Shearon Van Riggins, an amalgation of local DJs Aaron Riggins and Shea Van Horn.  More information and photos of the event.
