Correspondence From Brooksville Main Street, Inc., Chairman Christopher Rhodes, Regarding Off-Site Alcohol Consumption at Brooksville Blueberry Festival
body
BRIEF OVERVIEW
Received a copy of the attached letter from Christopher Rhodes, Chairman of Brooksville Main Street, Inc., (BMS) regarding a misunderstanding between 1946 Beer, Wine and Small Plates and Brooksville Blueberry Festival event co-hosts, John Lee and BMS.
A complaint was filed with the Department of Business and Professional Regulation alleging of unlicensed activity on the part of 1946 Beer, Wine and Small Plates. As an unintended consequence, certain segments of social media and public discourse are casting aspirations on the motives and intent of BMS, its Board of Directors and its Executive Director.
It is the intent of the Brooksville Main Street, Inc., Board of Directors to work diligently with those to resolve this matter and the BMS Board will move forward by adopting written event policies related to alcohol sales, and will provide such policies to all businesses within its district, so that any business serving alcohol will fully understand BMS requirements with regard to alcohol sales and consumption at its events.
