LOCAL HISTORY
Continuing with this issue, past newspaper front pages will highlight local news and history from Winder and Barrow County. This front page is from
the Sept. 14,1966 issue of The Winder News.
BYOB art shop in works for Town of Bethlehem?
The Town of Bethlehem is pondering whether
to allow a proposed local art business permission
for customers to bring their own bottle of wine for
consumption during classes.
Masterpiece Mixers representatives attended
Monday’s council meeting to seek approval for
patrons to be able to “brown bag” it during art
classes. The business will provide art classes for
both adults and children as well as host birthday
parties and other gatherings.
Currently, no business in Bethlehem, including
those which serve alcohol, can allow customers to
bring their own adult beverages.
Bethlehem attorney Ron Bennett said other
municipalities in the area have exceptions for busi
nesses of this nature and noted they have the legal
right to operate.
The business will cater to “soccer moms who
are middle aged and mid-income,” representatives
said. However, a portion of the business would be
directed toward area youth.
Some council members had concerns about safe
ty issues although Masterpiece Mixers said other
locations do not have problems with drinking and
driving from patrons noting those who are electing
to drink will often have transportation from other
drivers.
The council decided to allow Bennett to research
a proposal that would allow for a “BYOB” variance
and discuss it further at the Oct. 3 meeting.
Also at Monday’s meeting, the council agreed to
honor mayor Sandy McNab with the town’s pillar
award at the upcoming Oct. 13 dinner at The Carl
House.
“There are only a few town officials who have
come as close to working as hard as Sandy,” said
council member Wayne Ridgeway.
A poll was taken via email by council members
and the decision was made to recognize the town’s
long-time mayor. McNab said he was open to other
nominations being discussed but no other name was
mentioned during Monday’s council meeting.
