Vendor Kicked Out of Fair, Search for Teens Involved in Robbery, National Voter Registration Day

A vendor was kicked out of a fair in Bloomsburg after visitors of the fair had brought up complaints because he was selling nazi flags. The vendor, Lawrence Betsinger, had a nazi flag displayed outside of his booth. A photo was posted to the fair's Facebook page on Monday displaying the flag outside his booth. Officials removed the nazi flag from his booth and let Betsinger stay operating. He later replaced it with a Confederate flag, causing the fair officials to shut his booth down entirely. The fair's President Paul Reichart stated, "We'd like this to be a clean, American fair, We're family-oriented, and we don't tolerate these things."

Police are now searching for two teenagers who are accused of robbing a 71-year-old man in East Mount Airy. The robbery took place on Sunday September 11th on the 6500 block of Magnolia Street. The victim had just withdrawn money from an ATM. The two teens then followed the victim down the block and allegedly pointed a gun at him. The teens got away with $200, credit cards, and the victim's house and car keys.

Many events are planned for today in Philadelphia for the national voter registration day. Many city council members and commissioners will be at high schools around the area to help students register who have just turned 18. Also the city's union employees will be out on 15th and Market Street in Center City helping people register. Vice President Joe Biden will also be at Drexel University helping voters register in support of the Clinton campaign. If you can't make it out today you can also visit online at iwillvote.com
