Sheriff's office flags concerns if hard liquor is sold at Park County Fair; board says sellers will be TIPS certified
Summary
Sgt. Mark Dahlsten raised concerns about rumors that hard liquor may be sold at the fair; Fair Administrator MacKenzie Rohman said vendors who sell alcohol will be TIPS certified and 'won't over serve' and the Sheriff's Office will advise on signage and overtime coverage.
Sgt. Mark Dahlsten told the Park County Fair Board that there was "gossip" circulating that hard liquor might be sold at the fair this year and raised safety concerns. He said the Sheriff’s Office can provide overtime coverage and will review signage in the connex and advise the board on appropriate signs.
MacKenzie Rohman responded that the board has looked into the issue and that "whoever sells the liquor will be TIPS certified and won't over serve." Sgt. Dahlsten said he believed overtime coverage could be arranged through the Sheriff’s Office and that additional safety measures should be considered if hard liquor sales proceed.
The board did not record a final decision on whether hard liquor will be permitted; minutes state the issue has been investigated but no final determination was made. The Sheriff’s Office is expected to advise further on signage and staffing.
