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.
