St. Patrick's Day Snake Races.

San Francisco, 1982.

An event that started as a publicity gag in 1972 ran out of steam as herpetologists lost interest after a decade. Participants became fewer and fewer, and venues to hold them became scarcer as administrators of the event became apprehensive of lawsuits from snake bites.

In the story The Perfect Format.
