The Washington Lion in the photograph is demonstrating that there is more than one way to cook a chicken! Preparing food for the crowds during the Washington Historical Society's Art & Craft Show and Antique Flea Market, the unnamed gentleman donned a gas mask to escape the smoke. The event was photographed for the June 5, 1985 edition of The Romeo Observer.
