Illinois: Mayor cancels Wind Creek casino job fair at last minute

Harvey Mayor Christopher Clark canceled a Wind Creek Chicago Southland casino job fair in Harvey Thursday just as it was to begin, sending more than 286 hopeful job seekers home, according to casino and Park District officials.

The job fair at the Harvey Park District’s Gloria Taylor Center was to fill more than 1,000 positions at the casino, scheduled to open later this summer in East Hazel Crest.

Wind Creek Casino officials said in a news release Clark called the chief operating officer for Wind Creek Hospitality, Brent Pinkston, 17 minutes before the fair’s 10 a.m. start time to urge him to call off the event over concerns of a mass crowd forming.
