Summary
The City of Franklin Beer Board unanimously approved a special-event beer permit for the Rotary Club of Franklin’s rodeo May 13–16, 2026, after staff confirmed the application and inspections were complete; board members noted the event’s long history and lack of violations.
The City of Franklin Beer Board on April 14 voted unanimously to approve a special-event beer permit for the Rotary Club of Franklin’s rodeo at the Williamson County Ag Expo Center, scheduled for May 13–16, 2026.
Jessica Davey, billing and licensing director, told the board the application and inspections are complete and recommended approval. Scott Hubbard, speaking for the Rotary Club, said the rodeo is in its 75th year and requested the board’s approval. “This is, our 75 fifth rodeo this year,” Hubbard said.
Board members noted the event’s long history and clean record. Alderman Caesar asked how many years the club had run the rodeo; Hubbard answered “75,” and Caesar remarked the event is a milestone and observed there have been no violations during the beer board’s existence. The board then moved, seconded and approved the permit by roll-call vote; the chair and both aldermen voted yes.
Staff reported no public comment on the item. The approved permit covers alcohol service from 5 p.m. to 11 p.m. for the multi-day event; organizers and licensing staff will follow standard inspection and compliance procedures before and during the rodeo.
