Dry Lake Brewing will be extending their premise once again for the 2nd annual Boos and Brews Halloween Party. The event will include a pumpkin smash fundraiser outside for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation.

At this week’s Great Bend City Council meeting, City Attorney Allen Glendenning said the approved temporary extension of premise behind the brewery on Main Street will allow consumption of alcohol in the back alley.

"The brewery did this last year, and this governing body approved this ordinance," said Glendenning. "This ordinance is required in order for them to be exempt from a state statute that would otherwise prohibit serving or consuming alcohol in this space."

The alley from Lakin Avenue to Forest Avenue will be closed, along with a few parking stalls from 4 p.m. - 12 a.m. on Oct. 29.

The brewery is working with the State Alcoholic Beverage Control to obtain proper permits for the activity. 

Costumes are encouraged and several games will be available throughout the night.
