License Commission OKs Elk’s Lodge one‑day alcohol permit for July 11 movie night
Summary
The commission granted a one‑day alcohol permit to Elk’s Lodge for a July 11 outdoor movie night and discussed attendance estimates, staffing and posting of the license.
The Gardner City License Commission approved a one‑day alcohol permit for Elk’s Lodge’s planned outdoor movie night on July 11, 2025.
The applicant said the event will take place in a field area and described the event as family‑oriented; the applicant said liquor sales are expected to be modest. The applicant estimated attendance could vary — “who knows? Could be 10,” the applicant said, while acknowledging it “could be 100” on a popular night.
Commissioners asked about crowd control and staffing. The applicant said there are usually five or six staff for car control at similar events and that the lodge would call the commission if “things start looking like it's getting squirrely” so officials could respond. The commission advised that the one‑day license must be posted in the serving area when alcohol is sold.
A motion to approve the one‑day permit passed with members indicating support during the meeting; the transcript records the chair calling for a vote and the commission saying “Aye.”
