On Sunday, Feb. 13, Super Bowl LVI offered brief hope to Cincinnati Bengals fans, as their team faced off against the Los Angeles Rams. After a historic season and a dramatically close game, however, the Bengals faltered with a score of 23–20.
The last time the Bengals won the AFC championship and appeared in the Super Bowl was 1988. All of Southwest Ohio was electric with excitement — especially Yellow Springs.
For the big game, villagers gathered en masse at the local watering holes, living rooms and parking lots.

Walters smoked and grilled meats a’plenty for his hungry spectators.
