BUCKLIN, Kan. (AP) – Voters in a southwestern Kansas town with
roughly 800 residents but no liquor store will decide whether to
allow sales of alcohol on Sunday afternoons.
The Hutchinson News reports (http://bit.ly/Aqvyia) the Ford
County community of Bucklin is holding a special election Tuesday
on the question.
Bucklin Mayor Mike Fisher said Sunday sales are allowed in the
town of Ford, about seven miles away, and Coldwater, about 20 miles
away.
The mayor says Bucklin had a liquor store and two convenience
stores when talk of allowing Sunday sales first arose. The liquor
store and one convenience store have since closed. Fisher says
those two establishments might reopen if Sunday sales are approved.
