WELD COUNTY, Colo. — The Weld County Board of Commissioners on Aug. 4 granted conditional approval for a special-event permit allowing on-site sale of fermented malt beverages for a series of events at District Turf Farm, pending final sign-off from the health department.

County attorney Mac Conroy presented the permit request for Working Place Incorporated, noting the application was submitted less than 30 days before the first event and that the chair granted an exception to the county’s 30-day submittal deadline. Conroy said staff and the applicant had been working with health department officials to confirm whether the existing septic and restroom facilities would be adequate for the expected attendance and that portable toilets could be used if necessary.

Katie Chills, identified in the transcript as board president of Public Health Place and present as an event representative, said the series of events will benefit Woman’s Place (a nonprofit beneficiary) and that participants travel regionally for the World Long Drive competition. Commissioners moved to approve the resolution on condition that the county health department provide final approval for sanitation. Commissioner James moved and Commissioner Maxey seconded the motion; the board recorded the motion as approved.

The conditional approval covers event dates listed in the application (Aug. 15–Aug. 17, Sept. 5–Sept. 7, and Sept. 24–Sept. 28, 2025; hours noted as 12:00–6:00 p.m. in the application). The transcript notes health-department clearance was outstanding at the time of the meeting; staff and the applicant said they expected to resolve the remaining issues before the August 15 start date.
