HUTCHINSON, Kan. — Reno County Commissioners approved a resolution last fall to put to the people the question of removing the required 30% food sales requirement for liquor by the drink.

Sandhills Brewery had an issue with their liquor license this last time around as just weeks before their deadline they had not sold enough food to maintain compliance. 

Pippin Williamson, owner of Sandhills was before the commission last fall requesting the vote after a herculean effort by the community of $42,000 in food in just five days got enough food purchased for this renewal.

The election November 7 is a city and school board election and those traditionally have lower turnout numbers.
