Hopefully, we have all gotten wise to the number of scams that are going around. It is pretty bad when they start involving a Hudson Valley venue known for hosting fun events. It also is bad when they don't even think to use spell check.

Last week the Dutchess County Fairgrounds had to share on their Facebook page that there was a vendor scam, or should I say "VEDOR" scam, going around soliciting vendors for events that were supposedly happening on the fairgrounds in February and another in March.

Fortunately the page it was shared to caught it and so did the Dutchess County Fair. The ridiculous part is that it had a huge typo in it which someone might have overlooked but it really would have been hard to miss.
