Board approves free use of fairgrounds and 35% alcohol donation for 'Shop with a Cop' fundraiser
Summary
The Fair Board approved a Shop with a Cop community fundraiser at the fairgrounds (proposed Oct. 18), agreed to provide site use and volunteer alcohol‑monitoring as available, and voted to donate 35% of OBS alcohol proceeds to the program.
Representatives from Shop with a Cop outlined plans for a community fundraising event — a family‑friendly 'spooky' maze with booths and food vendors — and requested site use and permission to serve alcoholic beverages. Megan Hanson of the sheriff's office introduced the event and described its purpose to raise funds for holiday shopping with deputies for families in need.
After logistical discussion about timing, security and alcohol monitoring, a board motion carried to allow Shop with a Cop free use of the fairgrounds, to have board members serve as alcohol monitors as available, and to donate 35% of OBS (alcohol) sales proceeds to the initiative. "We would like to serve adult beverages... and...donate the proceeds," the presenters said; the board approved the motion by voice vote.
