Crucial Quote<\/h2>\n

\u201cThe State of Oregon will not be participating in the Great American State Fair due to both the cost of participating in the Fair and growing concerns that the event in Washington D.C. is shaping up to be a more partisan affair than originally presented,\u201d Oregon spokesperson Luke Harkins told CNN.<\/u><\/p>\n

Chief Critic<\/h2>\n

Gov. Maura Healey, D-Mass., told Boston Public Radio that Trump is \u201ctoo busy with his \u2018Great American State Fair\u2019 down there that everybody\u2019s bailing on,\u201d when asked if she would welcome the president to any anniversary celebrations in Massachusetts. Healy accused the president of using the fair to \u201cget money into his own pocket.\u201d She also claimed states were going to be charged to attend the fair, though organizers have denied costs for states to participate.<\/p>\n

Surprising Fact<\/h2>\n

Democratic-led states like California, Colorado and New York will participate in the fair. <\/p>\n

Key Background<\/h2>\n

The Great American State Fair ran into a highly publicized programming obstacle last month after it announced a slate of performances from nine music artists, the majority of whom bowed out, citing various reasons<\/u>. Country singer Martina McBride said she was initially asked to \u201cperform at a nonpartisan event but that turned out to be misleading.\u201d Poison frontman Bret Michaels said his shows have \u201cnever been about politics,\u201d but, \u201cUnfortunately, what was presented to us as a celebration of our country has evolved into something much more divisive than what I agreed to be a part of.\u201d Milli Vanilli was the most outspoken artist who intended to perform, saying, \u201cThis is not a political platform. This is celebrating America\u2019s birthday. Nothing too serious, just enjoying some fun, dancing and great memories.\u201d Following the pullouts, Trump said the performances would be replaced by his own rally, saying he did not want performers \u201cthat get paid far too much money, who aren\u2019t happy.\u201d<\/p>\n
