Democratic campaign signs vandalized By Robert Mayer Special to The Citizen
Members of the Berlin Democratic Town Committee (BDTC) awoke Sunday morning to find that all of its signs lining the roads to the Berlin Fair were vandalized, officials announced this week. The campaign signs, especially along the Wethersfield Road route, were torn and many ruined completely.
The 74th Berlin Fair, dubbed the “biggest little fair in Connecticut,” took place from Sept. 14 through 17. The event attracted more than 80,000 visitors, according to organizers, and offered a little something for everyone, from food to music to rides, and everything in between.

“Every single one of our lawn signs was callously pulled up and thrown into the trees along the road, with approximately a quarter of them suffering damages, including the metal stakes they were attached to,” said Raul Fernandes, chair of Berlin DTC. “There is absolutely no place for vandalism in our community or in political discourse. “The belligerence with which these signs were scattered makes it abundantly clear that this was a purposely hostile act,” Fernandes added. “Such reprehensible behavior should be seen an absolute disqualifier in any civilized society.” See Signs, A8
