Council authorizes Garden City Rod & Gun Club gambling event in Vernon Center
Summary
After a public comment, the council authorized the Garden City Rod & Gun Club to hold a gambling/raffle event in Vernon Center on March 21, 2026, approving permission for the organization to raise its raffle limit per a changed license.
The Vernon Center City Council authorized a local firearms club to hold a gambling raffle event in the city next spring.
During public comment, Wayne Krosch said the Garden City Rod & Gun Club is seeking an upgraded license that would allow larger raffle prizes — increasing the current $5,000 limit to $50,000. Councilor Wendy Bennett moved to authorize the club’s gambling event in Vernon Center on March 21, 2026; Councilor Adam Finney seconded and the motion passed unanimously.
The transcript does not include details of any licensing paperwork or state-level approvals required for the change in raffle limits; the authorization recorded in the minutes is a municipal permission for the event to occur in Vernon Center on the stated date.
