I was disturbed and saddened to hear of this scheduled event for this year’s annual Fair. It most surely does not represent the type of show a community with children in attendance would appreciate or choose.
You as the board speak of core values which are community-friendly and your goals are supposed to enrich this community. You are supposed to identify our user groups and solicit community information as to our values and what we want to see for our local Fair. One job description said you would act as a liaison, i.e. bringing those values to the board.
I must say I have experienced no such solicitation so I will express my opinion on the show here. I feel it is extremely inappropriate for a family oriented fun event and also a dangerous show if you consider the plight of our younger generation and the troubles this type of show leads to.
I would request that you reconsider your plan to host this event and any other of the same nature. Otherwise I will request that the Haines Borough pull the money that this community has donated with our tax dollars and deeply consider future fundings. Thank you.
