Summary

The board approved two one-day all-alcohol permits for Ward 2 Civic Association's fall "Sundays in the Park" events at Riverfield (Oct. 5) and Faxon Park (Oct. 12), scheduled noon–4 p.m. each day.

The Quincy City Board of License Commissioners on Sept. 16 approved two one-day all-alcohol special-use permits requested by the Ward 2 Civic Association for its fall "Sundays in the Park" events: Oct. 5 at Riverfield and Oct. 12 at Faxon Park. Both events are scheduled from noon to 4 p.m. and will include food trucks, music and children's attractions.

Jim Gambino, representing the organizer, described planned activities including a blow-up slide from Busy Bee Jumpers, a touch-a-truck exhibit with Quincy Police and Fire departments, two food trucks each day, one ice cream truck, face painting and live solo performers (Jim Gambino said Oct. 5 would feature Jim Gambino and Oct. 12 would feature Matt Demo as solo performers). The applicant mentioned Drifter's Kitchen and Bar (owners Will Folaro and Andrew Moshe) as the proposed alcohol vendor; organizers said bartenders will be tip-certified.

A board member noted food trucks must obtain fire-department permits; Gambino said it was his understanding that vendors' certificates were up to date but that he would double-check.

A motion to approve the two special-use permits passed after a board member moved and another seconded; the transcript records affirmative votes but does not provide a roll-call breakdown.
