Display not family-friendly
I have always respected, appreciated and looked forward to Old Threshers and the good clean family environment.
I was very disappointed when I saw woodcrafter displays on the square using the F-word and the V-word for a woman's anatomy. I'm glad I didn't have to explain to my children or grandchildren the meaning of the words.
I brought this to the attention of a Chamber representative and I was told the crafters are not required to sign a disclosure statement in their contracts. I would like to see this changed for the benefit of families and the town's image.
