Community Outcry Puts End To Planned Tight Jeans Contest

POSTED: 9:51 a.m. EDT August 14, 2003

SANDPOINT, Idaho -- Bonner County Fair organizers are saying if the jeans don't quite fit, don't wear them. Or at least, don't expect a prize.

Fair officials have canceled plans for a tight-fitting jeans contest because of community complaints.

"Some ladies in the community think that it's inappropriate," fair manager Rhonda Livingston said.

Opponents of the tight-fitting jeans contest took their complaints to county commissioners, who deferred to the Bonner County Fair Board.

The women were worried the contest would exploit those who competed for the most painted-on pair of jeans, Livingston said. Though the contest is sponsored by Wrangler -- and uses no tax dollars -- Livingston said the event was canceled to keep the peace.

"I don't want people coming to the fair with negative attitudes. I don't want people to be unhappy -- the fair is supposed to be fun," Livingston said.

In my honest opinion, people just need to chill out. No one was forcing them to participate or watch. Aren't there more important causes that these people could be bringing to the attention of the commissioners? Geesh.
