There's been plenty of buzz surrounding the Durham Fair Association's decisionΒ to host the Elephant Encounter act at this year's fair.
Last week, elephantΒ supporters attempted to convince fair members to reverse course and cancel the show which some consider cruel to the animals. But in a 59-12 vote, fair members voted to keep the act.Β
Now, there's growing concern over what impact the decision might have on vendors, particularly many of theΒ local, non-profit groups that rely on the four-day eventΒ for the bulk of their fundraising.
So, what impact, if any, will theΒ elephant controversy have onΒ vendors? Are you a vendor and are you planning to boycott? Let us know in the comments.
