Another STATE fair bans Country Band for their NAME:
Confederate Railroad are under fire once again for their name. The country-rock and Southern rock band have been removed from the lineup of an upcoming fair in New York, just weeks after they were fired from another fair over allegations their name is racist.
Confederate Railroad were slated to perform at the Ulster County Fair in New Paltz, N.Y., on Aug. 1. In a statement Thursday (July 25), a spokesman for Ulster County Executive Pat Ryan says the band, whose logo features a steam train flying two confederate flags, will not perform at the event. Ryan says he opposes what he calls "a symbol of division and racism," the San Francisco Chronicle reports. ttps://tasteofcountry.com/confederate-railroad-fired-fair-racist-name/
