PUBLIC COMMENTS
Washington residents Christy McClure and Carla Dahlquist spoke to the Board about the
unfairness of the way the Washington County Fair Board is being run.
Ms. McClure stated that in September, 2025 there was a unilateral decision made, changing
the long-standing daytime voting process without providing the required 30-day notice to
shareholders and without holding a shareholder vote to amend the bylaws. She claimed there is no
accountability,no neutral legal check and no one safeguarding shareholders,nor the public's interest,
and asked the Board to help close these gaps by determining oversight,requiring clear governance
and setting transparency standards.

Ms. Dahlquist stated that she has been a part of the fair her whole life and that all they want
is a fair election, stating they want mail-in ballots,because they are not allowed to proxy vote for the
Fair Board. She said that for three decades they have voted during the day to accommodate dairy
farmers and people who work the second shift, and it was randomly pulled away in a meeting
without being presented to the shareholders.With 250 new shareholders since August, she said
people are clearly engaged and want to see change. She summed up her comments saying all they
want is free elections and for the shareholders to be able to make the decisions.
In other unrelated business, South Strabane resident Thomas Lonich once again raised
concerns about the demolition the Washington Mall asking why taxpayer dollars are being used and
why there neither a lien nor repayment provision was required from the property owners,who stand
to benefit from the demolition of the mall.
COMMISSIONERS' RESPONSE
Mr. Sherman asked Ms. McClure and Ms. Dahlquist to provide their information to the
Admins so he could reach out to them.
Mr. Sherman informed Mr. Lonich that public comments are just that and not a question-
and-answer forum.
