The park district has an open meeting on April 16th at 6pm at the little theater to listen to comments about a proposal to allow alcohol at family reunion, softball games, and other events. If pAssed this will open the door for future sales by the park district. It will cost more police patrol and trash cleanup. It would allow drinking next to our school and children's playground equipment. Leave the alcohol in the local pubs and clubs. Most clubs in town will rent there space and bar for adult entertainment. Laws are currently in place to prevent alcohol sales near schools now. Why allow drinking. Please sign petition if you oppose this proposal. Thank you Jerry Sours I will present all petition to the park board
Please keep the parks kid-friendly. Alcohol does not need to be allowed in the park. Also, people get fines for drinking outside a bar, how would this be fair to the bar owners who had to fight for a liquor license? The insurance would have to go higher if alcohol is allowed in the parks. Who would pay for that increase? The taxpayers? Even the ones who don't want it in the first place? Kids DESERVE to have a place to go and play without worrying about adults drinking around them

I say absolutely not to alcohol in our parks. Parks should continue to be a safe environment for families. I understand that the park district needs to generate revenue for our parks operations. But people need to stop taking the path of least resistance and look for postive ways to generate money and still have a respectable town that the residents of this county can be proud of.

NO Alcohol parks are for kids to enjoy with their families!
