Fair Officials Refute Space Dispute At Sauk County Fair
Sauk County Agricultural society officials state no application for exhibit space was made by Aton & Mandeville and that the president lacked authority to grant such privilege. They confirm Aton & Mandeville were offered two spaces in the Art building after a superintendent of privileges review and note no objections from the firm. The group pledges a square deal for all exhibitors while exposing a rival’s hostility cited by Wild.
