Ex-State Fair boss Cappuccilli paid more than most to caterer of daughter's wedding | News from The Post-Standard -. Former New York State Fair Director Peter Cappuccilli paid a higher fee to use a fair restaurant for one of his daughters’ wedding receptions than nearly every other customer who used the venue during that period, according to state records. 101005columbusday1sdc.JPGStephen D. Cannerelli / The Post-StandardFormer State Fair director Peter Cappuccilli photographed in 2005. The state Inspector General, as part of a broader investigation into the state fair, is investigating whether Cappuccilli received any special deals when two of his daughters booked wedding receptions at the fairgrounds. Records show Cappuccilli paid the fair’s exclusive caterer $11,000 for his daughter Marnie’s wedding reception at the Art & Home Center in 2002.

And both have not been paid by the fair’s insurance company. The Kalamazoo County Fair Board turned over two claims — one from Jeff Dahlman for his broken cell phone and one from Pamela Moore for her medical expenses — to its insurance company, Wisconsin-based West Bend Mutual Insurance Co., said Bonna Perrin, the board’s president. Brad Temple, the manager of the claims department at West Bend, said both Dahlman and Moore do have open claims but would not comment further because of a company policy not to discuss ongoing litigation. Now, Jeff Dahlman has a Dec. 17 court date in Kalamazoo to fight for the $529 he spent to replace his cell phone damaged by the cow and on court costs.
