Will the Select Board allow Brickyard Hollow to sell a special NG 250th brew at the September 7 celebration at the Fairgrounds? Tune in to the August 5 meeting to find out whether the board will override the usual prohibition against alcohol on Town property.
The meeting will convene at 7 p.m. at the Meetinghouse and will be live-streamed at this link.
Also on the August 5 agenda:
— The next step with the underground septic system for permanent bathrooms at the Fairgrounds. The board is slated to discuss corrections to the bid documents that went out and potentially to open bids for the septic work. Read the septic RFP with maps and details in the meeting agenda packet at pp.10-18.
