The Riley County Commission on Thursday authorized alcohol sales at designated events in CiCo Park.
The commission voted to allow beer sales at the Manhattan Brewing Company and Aggieville Brewing Company’s “Little Apple Mayfest” to take place in May, and alcohol sales within two designated areas during the Riley County Fair.
“It’s an updated home rule resolution regarding the provision of basically alcohol sales on CiCo Park and what the exceptions are,” said Jacob Hansen, the Riley County counselor. “The resolution itself was modified to allow the state board to also participate in selling alcohol. Not only was it allowed for them to then rotate in a designated area. That’s not just a free-for-all. It’s in a designated area, and all alcohol sales.”
