Attila Demjen, who is also the publisher at SNAPD Stouffville, says Ward 4 Councillor Rick Upton breached the pair's contract and is suing him for $100,000 after submitting a statement of claim at Newmarket's superior court. The lawsuit includes claims Upton, prior to becoming a councillor, agreed to split the proceeds of the inaugural show in 2014 and thereafter with Demjen with 40 per cent for each, with the additional 20 per cent going to the town's chamber of commerce. In the end, Demjen says he was only paid $14,000 despite the show running for two years and was then promptly left out in the cold by Upton, despite claiming it was he who secured many of the exhibitors. None of the claims has been proven in court. See SHOW, page 3.
