Fair board considers discipline against member after misconduct complaints

COSHOCTON − The Coshocton County Fair Board is considering possible disciplinary action against member and treasurer Jason Massie after receiving several complaints regarding misconduct from the public and others connected to the fair. Fair board member and director Jade Dreher turned in several complaints against Massie that were given to her, spurred by incidents at the fair in October. Other complaints go back several years and include allegations of verbal abuse, threats of violence and misuse of a director’s authority. Massie has disputed portions of the allegations while saying he could have handled at least one confrontation differently. The board discussed the matter in executive session Nov. 9 and plans to meet again Nov. 16 to consider what action, if any, to take. Although some complaints involved members of the public violating fairground rules, including one at the most recent fair involving outside alcohol, Dreher said those violations did not excuse Massie’s conduct. At the October meeting, Dreher said "A violation of fairground rules by a member of the public does not excuse inappropriate conduct by a member of this board,” she told the Tribune. “This is not about personalities, friendships, disagreements or taking sides. This is about accountability.” “We
