The Janesville City Council has decided not to overturn an beer license approval by the Alcohol License and Advisory Committee, thus allowing a beer tent at the Rock County 4-H fair this year.

Council Member Heather Miller had concerns about the tent, saying it could be a recipe for disaster and the Rock County 4-H Fair should rebrand to just the Rock County Fair if they’re selling alcohol.

Council Vice President Dave says he doesn’t understand why the council had to even review the fair’s license and it isn’t normal protocol to have to review an ALAC license approval.

The council’s inaction Monday night means the committee’s vote earlier this month in favor of granting the fair a temporary license will stand.

The Rock County 4-H Fair runs July 23rd through the 28th.
