Board OKs temporary common consumption area at Applejack Pumpkin Patch for April wine events
Summary
The County granted a temporary common consumption area under K.S.A. 41‑2659 for Applejack Pumpkin Patch so the venue can host wine festivals on April 18 and April 25, 2026. The resolution covers only those dates; future events would require new approvals.
Butler County approved Resolution No. 26-12 on March 24 to establish a temporary common consumption area at Applejack Pumpkin Patch (Hwy 400 & SW Indianola Rd.) for wine festival events on April 18 and April 25, 2026. County Administrator Will Johnson said the resolution was modeled on a prior ABC‑approved template the County has used and that the authorization is limited to the two April dates; additional events would require separate resolutions and ABC review.
The statute cited by staff, K.S.A. 41-2659, allows cities and counties to create common consumption areas and authorize possession and on‑site consumption of alcoholic liquor within a defined boundary for specific events. The Board approved the resolution 5-0.
