Recreation commission forwards beer-garden request for Community Day to selectmen

Thompson Recreation Commission members reviewed a letter from Thompson Together supporting a beer garden at Community Day and discussed logistics used at a recent concert, including fenced 21+ access points and security presence. Commissioners noted the emergency management team had been satisfied with the previous setup and that fencing and controlled entrances would be required.

A member moved that the commission send a recommendation or letter to the selectmen for final authorization; the motion was seconded and approved by voice vote. "I make the motion that we push it on to the selectmen so they can say yes or no," one commissioner said during the motion. The selectmen will make the final decision because the commission does not have authority to approve alcohol sales on the event field.
