Hells Angels no longer vendors at Quebec agricultural fair, management confirms

SAINT-HYACINTHE, Que. — The management of a Quebec agricultural fair is admitting it made a mistake in allowing a group associated with the Hells Angels to sell products at the site.

Fair director Francois Brouillard says the “Support 81 Montreal” group has left the Saint-Hyacinthe exposition at the request of management.

The number 81 refers to the position of the letters H and A in the alphabet.

The group had been operating a kiosk that sold clothing and other merchandise, much of it in the motorcyle gang’s signature red and white.
