Crawford council approves special liquor licenses and temporary Second Street closure for Peabody Hale fundraiser
Summary
The Crawford City Council unanimously approved Special Designated Liquor Licenses for The Tailgate Bar and Grill and Diamond Jack's Corner Bar and approved a temporary closure of Second Street for the Peabody Hale Fiddle Fundraiser Street Dance on July 18–19, 2026.
Mayor April Grant and two council members approved special event permits and a temporary street closure on June 29, 2026 for a July fundraiser. Council Member Brian Frahm moved to "approve the Special Designated Liquor Licenses for The Tailgate Bar and Grill and Diamond Jack's Corner Bar in conjunction with the Peabody Hale Fiddle Fundraiser Street Dance and the street closure on Second Street from Main Street to the alley, from 4:00 p.m. on Saturday, July 18, 2026 until 1:00 a.m. on Sunday, July 19, 2026." Council Member Diane Gaston seconded and the motion carried with Mayor Grant, Frahm and Gaston voting AYE; none voted NAY and Council President Christopher Dean was absent.
The approvals authorize two downtown establishments to serve alcohol during the Peabody Hale Fiddle Fundraiser Street Dance and authorize the temporary closure of Second Street between Main Street and the alley to accommodate the event. The council record lists the closure window as 4:00 p.m. on Saturday, July 18, 2026 through 1:00 a.m. on Sunday, July 19, 2026. No conditions, special restrictions or concerns were recorded in the minutes. The council did not enter into discussion or record any public comment on the item.
The licenses and street closure are intended to support the Peabody Hale Fiddle Fundraiser; the minutes do not specify event organizers beyond the fundraiser name nor list required approvals from other agencies or any required safety plans. The council's formal action authorizes the city clerk to issue the special designations and the street closure for the stated dates and times.
