When:
Short story:
It is reported that Southern country-rock group Confederate Railroad has lost a second gig - Aug 1 at Ulster County Fair in New York's Hudson Valley - because of objections over the use of the Confederate flag in its logo. Ulster County executive Pat Ryan states, "The Ulster County Fair must be an event that everyone can enjoy while representing the values of all members of our community. Any showcasing of a symbol of division and racism runs counter to that principle and will be vigorously opposed by my administration." Earlier this month, Illinois canceled a state fair appearance by the band.
