• All required forms must be submitted to the clerk's office at least 15 days prior to the next Board meeting.

Temporary Class "B" beer and "Class B" wine only licenses (picnic licenses) are short-term authorizations that allow the following organizations to make retail sales of alcohol beverages at a particular picnic or similar gathering, at a meeting of the post, or during a fair: 

• bona fide clubs and chambers of commerce
• county or local fair associations or agricultural societies
• churches, lodges, or societies that have been in existence for at least 6 months before the date of application
• posts of veterans' organizations

Temporary licenses may also be issued to authorize a "wine walk" or "beer walk." This is a single day event at which customers are served a glass of beer or wine at multiple locations (e.g., jewelry stores, art galleries, clothing boutiques, salons, furniture stores, etc.) during shopping visits.

Requirements that apply to other alcohol beverage licensees also apply to Temporary "Class B" wine and Temporary Class "B" beer licensees, including:

• Licensed operators (person's holding an operator's license, also known as a "bartender's license") serving the wine or beer and/or supervising serving wine or beer.
• Temporary operator's licenses may be issued to persons employed by or donating services to the qualified organization for the event. A person may hold two temporary operator's licenses per year.
• Licensees must purchase all wine and beer from liquor or beer wholesalers and breweries/brewpubs authorized to self-distribute to retail licensees.

Form AB-220, Temporary Alcohol Beverage License, is submitted by the qualifying organization to the municipality to apply for a Temporary Class "B" beer or Temporary "Class B" wine license. Applicants for a wine walk or beer walk should attach to the application a list of participating locations and premises descriptions or submit a separate application for each location participating in the event.
