ication from the Overland Sertoma Club
Robert Deakins, Events Manager, Overland Sertoma Club, expressed thanks and
appreciation to the Authority for scheduling the special meeting to consider the
Special Events Permit for New West Fest. He noted the Overland Sertoma Club had
assumed the responsibility for the beer garden last year and added no problems
were experienced at that time. He estimated 100,000 persons will attend New
West Fest although not all of those persons will be beer drinkers.
Authority member Poncelow asked about the hours of actual serving time at the
beer garden.
Mr. Deakins replied they will be serving until 11:00 p.m. on Saturday if there
are patrons. If not, they will shut down earlier. He noted off -duty police
personnel will be in place on Saturday.
Authority member Crowfoot asked if Sertoma Club personnel will be stationed
along the corridor at the entrance to the beer garden to prevent people from
taking beer out of the enclosed beer garden area.
Mr. Deakins replied that people will be placed at each end of the sidewalk to
make sure beer does not leave the enclosed area. He described the purpose of
the entrance corridor to Mathews Street, noting the corridor will give the beer
garden more visibility and will allow the people patronizing the food stands
better access. He noted an ID check point will be at the entrance so that only
people of legal age can enter. He noted they again will be requiring anyone who
is served to wear a bracelet.
Authority member Wawro asked about the number of uniformed officer that will be
present.
Mr. Deakins responded that two officers will be present at any given time.
