I enjoy going to the Western Fair district for different events or whatever might be going on here but I do have a service dog and sometimes it can be very stressful going here because not all Western Fair District employees are aware of what a service dog is or the rights I have to be able to bring my service dog in with me and I've been given a hard time and once even told I had to leave with my dog or police would have been called even though I politely explained to them that she is a service dog and that she is allowed to be with me everywhere for medical reasons. I know what my rights are and I did not leave I simply said if you need to call the police on me because I have my extremely well behaved service dog with me then you do what you think you need to do. I and my service dog were detained by Western Fair District employees for about 30 minutes until finally someone who knew the laws and understood that I had a service dog and that my dog was absolutely allowed to be with me everywhere I was finally allowed to continue to shop at the event I was at but I was not given an apology or anything like that at all I was simply let go to continue on shopping. Bottom line if you have a service dog be prepared for the likely possibility to be detained because they obviously do not inform their employees of service dogs and or the rights the service dog handler has to have the dog accompany them everywhere with you.
