Commission approves liquor‑license transfer to Extension Center for early‑December dart tournament
Summary
The commission approved a temporary transfer of Shooter's Bar liquor license to the Covington County Extension Center for a two‑day dart tournament in early December after the applicant described security measures and entry monitoring.
The Covington County Commission on Oct. 21 approved a temporary transfer of Shooter’s Bar’s liquor license to the Covington County Extension Center so the license holder can operate a bar at a planned early‑December dart tournament.
Tom Alverson, who identified himself as owner of Shooter’s Bar, told commissioners the event would be a two‑day tournament and said security staff would circulate and monitor entrances because the Extension Center layout is relatively open. “We’ll have a couple of our security guards walking around. Somebody smokes in there. She made note of that. And then watch the entrances because it’s kinda open,” Alverson said.
Commissioners asked whether beer, wine and liquor would be served; Alverson responded that the event would include beer and liquor and probably wine. Commissioners approved the transfer by voice vote; a second was recorded and the motion carried.
Why this matters: the transfer allows a private license holder to operate temporarily at a county facility for a paid event; commissioners asked about security and how the license would be transferred and noted staff would confirm details.
Details recorded on the application include two individuals listed as contacts on the application (Tom Halvorsen and Carla O’Farrell) who are affiliated with the license holder. Staff advised they would contact the applicants to confirm logistics and building availability before the event.
