Fair gives warning to food vendors
GREENVILLE — The Darke County Agricultural Society’s board of directors will be cracking down on vendors during the 2024 Great Darke County Fair. Director Dean Neff introduced the issue of food vendors putting more than water into the drains and causing clogs. Neff encouraged the board to take action because each time they have to eel out the drains, it costs the board money. Neff asked the board to consider fining a vendor $150 for the first offense, if they are found to have clogged the drain with discarded food. The second offense would result in a one-year suspension from the fair. The motion passed unanimously. The rule will go into effect immediately. Fair Manager Lauren Ahrens was instructed to add the motion and information to the packet given to vendors prior to the fair.
