Scottsdale bidder challenges 1967 midway contract award
A Phoenix suit by Bobby Cohn of West Coast Shows challenged the Arizona Fair Commission award of the 1967 midway contract to Art Frazier of Scottsdale. The case sought a writ of Mandamus to force bidding, but was dismissed by Judge Kenneth Chatwin. Cohn had bid 233000 versus Frazier's 230000, and alleged arbitrariness in the award. The court noted other contract provisions could yield more revenue to the fair.
