City Council approves summer solstice outdoor wine and yoga event on June 19

The Gardner License Commission convened on April 8, 2025, to discuss several upcoming events and licensing matters. The meeting focused on two primary events: a beer run scheduled for May 17, 2025, and a summer solstice outdoor wine and yoga event set for June 19, 2025.

The first item on the agenda was the approval of a license for the "Cheesy Beer Run." The commission unanimously approved the license, ensuring that all necessary certificates will be kept near the serving area for any inquiries during the event.

Next, the commission turned its attention to the summer solstice event. Participants will receive two glasses of wine, spaced an hour apart, with one free beer included in the registration. Attendees will also have the option to purchase additional beverages. The event will proceed rain or shine, with no alternative plans in place for inclement weather. The commission approved the license for this event as well, with no questions or concerns raised.

Additionally, the meeting included a brief discussion regarding a change of manager at the Garden Lodge 14 26 Elks, which had been previously approved.

Overall, the meeting concluded with both events receiving the necessary approvals, allowing organizers to move forward with their plans. The commission emphasized the importance of compliance with regulations, particularly regarding alcohol service and participant safety.
