Mr. Tri-State Leather returns after 7 years

by Ron Clemens

Cincinnati-The weekend of November 12-14 marks the return of the regional Mr. Tri-State Leather competition. After a sevenyear hiatus, the contest is being reintroduced under the production of a local leather club, Scorpius of Cincinnati.

The first Mr. Tri-State contest, held in 2000; was originally the idea of Nigel Cotterill (Mr. MVL 1997, Mr. Queen City Leather 2003) and his boy at the time, Andrew Keisker (Ohio Drummerboy 2000, Great Lakes Drummerboy 2000).

Tri-State was designed to bring together the leather groups and organizations of Southwest Ohio, Kentucky and Indiana to celebrate the leather lifestyle and foster support and visibility for the entire regional leather community. The winner of the Mr. Tri-State Leather contest will go on to compete at International Mr. Leather on Memorial Day weekend in Chicago.

The first Mr. Tri-State Leather, Mike Taylor, went on to win the title of International Mr. Leather 2001. The previous Mr. Tri-State, Leather titleholders include Dan Newman, 2001, Frank Pergo, 2002 and

Dennis Mascher, 2003.

The original title sash was officially donated to the Leather Archives and Museum in 2004.

Scorpius of Cincinnati is honored to have been asked to bring back this tradition and promises the new incarnation will have just as great an impact and bring visibility back to the leather communities of the Tri-State Region. The weekend promises to be a blend of the old and the new and to, in many ways, reunite old friends, foster new relationships and continue to provide a forum for honoring and celebrating our ancestors and predecessors, educating members of the community about the tenets of the leather lifestyle and provide a space to celebrate the unique perspective that is ours.

Visit www.scorpiusofcincinnati.com for more details about the Mr. Tri-State Leather weekend and contest. The deadline for weekend registration and hotel discount is Wednesday, October 13 at 5 pm.

If anyone is interested in being a sponsor the event, contact Jack Art4cbs@aol.com.

Ron Clemens is the president of Scorpius of Cincinnati.

Lesbian festival

Continued from page 1

While this year's attendance was on par with the previous few years, it is a far cry from the festival's heyday, when “we would have 2,800, maybe 3,000 women there, but I think attendance is down across the board. I think it's a lot of factors, but I think it's still really important to provide women's space and women's community, and there are precious few out there to provide it."

Cozad does not believe there will be too many changes in next year's festival, which will take place September 9-11, 2011.

"I think what we're focusing on right now is refining what we've done," she mused. "We feel like we've got a really good mix with camping, and we added movies on Friday night and a bonfire, so I think it made

Friday night really good for women who want to come out."

"There's always a learning curve when you add a new dimension to an event," she continued.

"I think people can look to hear from us throughout the year," she noted. "We have some catch-up to play for this year, and we're going to be out and about and give people a chance to support the concept even if they don't go to the festival, and help us make another."

One of the things the Ohio Lesbian Festival needs most, however, is an influx of energetic people with ideas.

"Give us your feedback, get involved, go to the website which is new and improved, fabulous," she said. “There are ways to get a hold of us. It's at www.ohiolba.org."
