Poll: Fair's freak shows incite some ire

Officials from the North Idaho Fair and Rodeo already know visitors are divided when it comes to sideshows like this year's World's Smallest Woman.

The latest poll on cdapress.com isn't going to give them a lot more help, with roughly half the readers favoring or being neutral toward the shows.

The Press asked, "Next year, should the fair allow freak shows?" The vote split this way:

• Yes, it's their right; 298 votes (39 percent)

• No, it's just wrong; 380 votes (49 percent)

• I don't have an opinion; 94 votes (12 percent)
