Select Board approves Valley View Farm one-day alcohol license for summer Fridays, pending insurance and entertainment permit
Summary
The Town of Templeton Select Board approved a one-day wine and malt liquor license for Valley View Farm for a series of Friday nights from May 23 through Aug. 29, contingent on receipt of required certificates and a live-entertainment application.
The Town of Templeton Select Board voted to approve a one-day wine and malt-liquor license for Valley View Farm for a sequence of Friday evenings running from May 23 through Aug. 29, 2025, pending submission of required paperwork.
Polly, a town staff member, said, “He supplied everything. We haven't got a certificate of insurance, but we'll get that once they're approved. He is gonna be having it outside.” The board added a friendly amendment to require the certificate of insurance and to confirm any certificate of occupancy for the tented area before final authorization. The applicant was also told to submit a one-day live-entertainment license; staff said that application could be completed at the board’s May 28 meeting.
Board members discussed prior seasons and noted they had seen similar requests in past years. The license approval specifies that the event area will be roped off and that the applicant must provide the outstanding documents before the license becomes effective.
The motion included dates for Friday-night events from May 23 to Aug. 29 and was approved as amended; the transcript records affirmative roll-call votes by board members present.
The board did not cite a specific statute or ordinance on the record. The approval is contingent on staff verification of the certificate of insurance, confirmation about whether a certificate of occupancy is required for the tent, and receipt of the live-entertainment license application.
