The event plans include a Centennial all -class reunion, a pig roast, corn feed, horseshoe tournament, and music. The hours for the various elements of the event vary but music is limited to 7:00 p.m. on Saturday and all events will be done by Sunday afternoon. The Legion would like to fence off a portion of their property on the south and east side of their building to be used for picnic festivities for these events only. The Minnesota Alcohol and Gambling Enforcement Division requires a 1 to 4 Day Temporary On -Sale Liquor License to allow the consumption of alcohol in this outdoor area. The applicant is required to submit their request to the city requesting local approval before the application is submitted to the state for final consideration. The Legion has submitted to the City an application for both a special event permit and temporary liquor license. The applications have been reviewed by staff, including the police and fire departments, and the applicant has been provided with a list of safety conditions. The applicant has agreed to comply with the conditions and to address any other safety considerations that may arise. Background information on the applicant and the American Legion Post officers is on file at City Hall.
