Concerned about Fair money

Editor:

I am writing concerning going play money instead of real money at Sanders County Fair. I for one am quite disturbed at this power grab and control move. Just how much money does Mr. Hashisaki think these “crooked” vendors are bilking the fair out? If this is Mr. Hashisaki’s mind set of how he sees vendors, it is a pretty sad view indeed.

The cost of implementing it will be detrimental to the fair. Just what is the fair: a revenue source for Sanders County or our future farmers, ranchers, gardeners and craft people getting to display their works. If this play money scheme is implemented, I for one will not spend a nickel again at the Sanders County Fair.
