Had a reader in Minnehaha County send this to me last night. Apparently for their dinner event last week, the Minnehaha County Republican Party decided to go with a puritanical motif, and banned people from partaking of potent potables with their evening meal:
If they don’t want people having beer with their dinner… I have to ask… why did they hold their event at a microbrewery?
That would be the Minnehaha County GOP – taking the ‘party’ out of the Republican Party.
And…Looks is in Lincoln County. Isn’t there anywhere in Minnehaha to hold a meeting?
And women should refrain from wearing sleeveless shirts or tight jeans!
It’s the Minnehaha County GOP meeting in Lincoln County and not wanting booze of any kind in a neighboring county. Me thinks they are lost and don’t want to forget where the county line is?
The Lincoln County GOP should reclaim their turf by doing real fundraisers and holding fun events in Sioux Falls south of 57th street. 🙂
Maybe it is just so the place can sell the beverages and not have people bring them to avoid purchasing. Doesn’t say you can’t have it, just don’t bring your own.
Sorry, misunderstood that the meeting was separate from where the drinks are sold.
The wording is clear they don’t want you to buy alcohol from looks and bring it into the meeting room where alcohol won’t be sold. If not illegal, for liability reasons and to pay for their liquor license, there isn’t a place with a liquor license that I have heard of and certainly not Looks that allow people to bring their own alcohol onto the premises.
A meat raffle to raise funds for the support of the Republican Party with no drinking during the event?? What happened to cocktail parties, fashion shows, and golf outings? This seems to be “cancel culture” focused against that part of the Party that has provided the majority of our funding for the past 100 years.
Darn, I guess I can’t go, I sold my burka some years ago.
I don’t know how anyone could attend this meeting WITHOUT drinking.
Anon 6:48 absolute best line of the week…
Did leadership in Minnehaha Co change this year…because I feel some of the stuff they are doing is wack!
It did. The hard right were turned out by the crazy right, because the crazy right said the hard right were too moderate.
Looks isn’t a brewery or micro brewery in the sense you are using it here Pat… Looks is first and foremost a MEAT MARKET. They just happen to now have a restaurant, that like most serves booze. And yes they brew some of their own beer. They don’t market them selves as a brewery or micro brewer or a bar. Is there a business meeting that is also be held as part of this event. Would booze not always be banned from a business meeting of a County Party?
They’ve also got a bakery, make their own ice cream, and sell groceries. To try and peg them into a single hole is a little silly. Having a meeting at Looks that bans beer is like having a meeting at CH Patisserie and saying no one can have an éclair.
I can only imagine that these Bible-Black Tyrants will do wonders for driving moderate independents over to the Dems for a few election cycles.
Probably a good idea, can’t imagine what insanity would result if this bunch of wackos imbibe.
The whole world is a couple beers behind.
