West Stockbridge approves one-day liquor licenses for Turn Park events including June concerts and festival
Summary
The town approved three one-day liquor-licence applications for Turn Park events, including a June 16 concert (200 tickets sold of a 300 limit), a June 13 all-day festival, and a fall fairy festival; organizers said police presence is planned and the applicant will renew TIP certification.
West Stockbridge approved three one-day liquor-license applications for events at Turn Park, including a June 16 concert, a June 13 park festival and a fall fairy festival.
Applicant Jerry Gelerino described the June 16 concert (a two-person show by a prominent Russian artist), saying ticket sales began Saturday and "we have already sold 200 tickets. Our limit is 300." He said the concert will offer wine and beer only, and that he will coordinate parking (including use of space near the water-treatment area) and at least one police officer for the event. He also described the June 13 park festival with amplified music (3 p.m. to about 10 p.m.) and a fall fairy festival; the festival events will include mixed drinks.
A questioner asked how alcohol would be managed with children present; Mr. Gelerino said festival events typically draw children of all ages and that staff check IDs when patrons appear under 40. He also noted his TIP certification expires at the end of May and that he will renew it before events.
A motion to approve all three liquor-license applications was made, seconded and carried on a voice vote; the transcript records the approval but does not provide a numerical vote tally.
Organizers plan to limit capacity and coordinate with police; details such as the exact number of officers, final parking arrangements and completed TIP certification were discussed as pending follow-up.
