Erie County fair cancels heavy metal concert over family concerns
Erie County Fair Board canceled a Saturday heavy metal concert at the fairgrounds despite promises of dance bands and normal rock. Promoter Robert Ross and his team defended death metal acts like Gutted and Human Remains, calling it not obscene, while board president Charles Swineford and vice president Bill Dwelle argued the event was unsuitable for a family oriented community and misrepresented in promotion. The dispute centers on safety, image, and the choice to cancel rather than proceed.
