For years the Champlain Valley Fair has been proud to state they are the best for providing entertainment and making the fair family friendly. But the recent event of loss of life has raised some concerns. Over the years, The Champlain Valley Fair has allowed easy access to knives. They have allowed access by allowing them to be won by the games. . This petition is merely to raise awareness, that anyone could gain access to the same weapon that was used to take a life a mere few hours ago at a place that is supposed to be friendly and safe. Now I am not stating this was a weapon purchased or won at the fair. I am just stating they are very accessible for anyone who isn't thinking clearly. I am also stating that a fair that is promoting to be family friendly and smoke free shouldn't be selling pipes or bongs as well.
Lets ban the sell of these objects sold at the fair going forward and not allow knives to be won and make this fair a little safer for all to enjoy.

My cousins life was taken last night at the fair by a young man wealding a knife this needs to stop. All violence need to stop.
!00 % on Board. Knives should not be for sale at a family friendly venue no more than at Great Escape or Disney World. Please keep them at events created for that purpose Gun show ect. I have ALWAYS felt this way. "Nothing" else compares to this. I will not defend this statement cause you all know what I am saying. I am sorry if I am stepping on anyones toes. But I am sorrier that I did not fight this 20 years ago. I am not responding to anyones nasty and idiotic remark to this or against me because there is nothing more to say. I hope this has your support if you feel the same dont be afraid to just add you name. Many outlets sell knives just not at fairs. Thank You!
My cousin was there last night and she said she's never seen so many drunk people at a public "family" event.
No reason to be selling weapons or letting people win them you never know who's hands they will get into.
This is for patrons and carnies too.
My condolences. I hope I can get this accomplished. This may not stop all the violence but at least may deter someone of brandishing a weapon they just bought or won from a game.
I agree. Please share and pass on.

I believe a fun, kid safe, and family event. Selling, winning knifes. Is not in any showing it. The selling of items that have to do with drugs is also sending children the wrong message and that is ok to do drugs in every way. We should think about the bigger picture of how children see things and make it an environment that all ages can enjoy.
