The vendor's tent is covered with flags. It was disgusting. It is located near the grandstand

After many tense hours and attempts at negotiation, a group of men rushed the hotel room and forcibly removed Price, spiriting him away to Oberlin, where he was hidden until he was smuggled to Canada and freedom.

Interfering in the capture and return of a runaway slave was a federal crime in 1858. Thirty-seven men from Oberlin and Wellington, thereafter referred to as “the Rescuers,” were indicted for their roles in the day’s events or simply for being a known abolitionist or conductor on the Underground Railroad.
