Select Board approves three one-day liquor permits for VFW and Senior Center art shows
Summary
On Sept. 15 the Select Board approved a one-day liquor permit for the VFW's end-of-summer event (Sept. 20) and two one-day permits for the Senior Center's Heathergrove Artisan Art Show (Oct. 11 and Oct. 12); board noted the VFW's event history and restricted service to wine for the Senior Center events.
The Select Board approved three one-day liquor permits on Sept. 15: a permit for the Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) end-of-summer event on Sept. 20 from 5 p.m. to 10 p.m., and two permits for the Senior Center’s Heathergrove Artisan Art Show on Oct. 11 (noon to 4 p.m.) and Oct. 12 (noon to 3 p.m.). Board members said the VFW has a history of well-managed events and that the senior center events have been held in prior years. One board member noted that the senior center events will serve only wine. Motions to approve each permit were made, seconded and approved with a voice vote of “Aye.” In discussion, a board member reiterated past caution about approving alcohol service for events that primarily serve minors—such as a Sweet 16 or high school graduation—but said the VFW’s end-of-summer event was appropriate. The Senior Center’s art show was described as recurring and suitable for a wine-only permit. No conditions beyond the event dates and times were recorded in the meeting transcript, and no formal vote tally with member names was recorded; the board’s actions were approved by voice vote.
