WHALEYVILLE – The Oasis Bar ‘N’ Grill in Whaleyville still plans to host a “Midget Paintball Manhunt” despite an online petition and backlash from those calling for it to be cancelled.
Last year, Oasis owner Bob Riccio cancelled and apologized for similar events featuring little people and the use of the word “midget” during an annual, unaffiliated bike week celebration after receiving criticism and backlash from community members and the Little People of America (LPA) Ches-Del-Bays Chapter.
Lizzy MacDonald, a Delaware resident and Ches-Del-Bays Chapter president, said she started a petition to permanently stop the events from happening at the Oasis after hearing of its return this year. As of Tuesday, the petition has received more than 500 signatures.
“Normally when you apologize, you mean it,” she said. “If he was sincere, he wouldn’t have it again.”

if the entertainers didnt want to be called midgets they wouldnt perform. these liberals need to mind their own business
Stupid. I see the crooked ex lawyer Pagano is trying to make himself relevant again. If he only had a brain. My if he only had a brain. It's not the venue calling them midgets but the show and the show is owned by the midgets-Pagano you imbecile and that is their livelihood. Typical stupid evil democrat is Pagano.. They seek to destroy whoever they disagree with. God will not be good to Pagano and others like him. They will be forever cursed with poor health, disease, no money and fake friends. God hates Pagano's kind of ugly and his dark heart.
We did go to the Oasis for bike week last year because of the Trump rally they planned but since we aren't into bikes had no intention of going this year. I just changed my mind. We will go to the Oasis tonight, have a bite to eat and walk around. I hate it when others try and mess with someone's livelihood and that is what they are doing.
Anything involving Ron Pagano is fake.
This from the York Daily Record-
"Ron Pagano, an attorney in Salisbury who is also a little person, was one of the people who commented."
LOL Caught Lying again Pagano. I guess he thought since it was an out of town paper he could lie and say he was an attorney in Salisbury. Is there ever an end to the constant lies democrats tell!
They are threatening protest. I will be there with a therapy dog for them to pet and coloring books and crayons.
How dare that Lizzie MacDonald speak for all MIDGETS! How dare her! She is nothing but a liar. She claims they are not happy about doing it and that they feel this is the only job they can get. She is nothing but a liar. She has no idea how they feel and if they like it or not. If you are going to champion for a cause don't be dishonest about it! You do nothing more but discredit yourself and your cause.
Hey, did you notice the(WBOC) reporter "flipping off" everyone while she did her report? Capture it before it goes away!
Bet shc thinks that is OK.
Paintball that little weasel Pagano!
Seen the interview of Lizzie MacDonald couldn't help but notice that her home was decorated with Washington redskins things, I have native American blood maybe I should be offended? You know we are not supposed to use the m- word!
