The Delaware County Fair Board has voted to prohibit its\nvendors from displaying Confederate flags and related merchandise at the 2019\nfair, but will not forbid their sale, according to Delaware County Sheriff\nCraig Dumond. The policy is the same\nas last year; however, Confederate merchandise was on full display at that\nfair, this year, Sheriff DuMond said the no-display policy will be\n“aggressively enforced.” The\nfair board’s decision follows the efforts of \u201cFair for All\u201d to end the sale and\ndisplay of the Confederate flag at the fair which they view as a symbol of\nwhite supremacy & hatred which should not be at a county fair. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
