As a long-time resident of the Village of Lyndonville/Town of Yates, I would like to express my opinion, in regards to having a beer tent on the 4th of July.

For years we have been known as  fostering a family friendly event on the 4th. I certainly do not have any problem with people who wish to  drink alcohol, but I believe it is best done on private properties.

I believe the need is not there to raise money through a questionable practice of allowing  the open sale of alcohol in our village/town, even with some restrictions. I would urge the Lions Club and town/village officials to take another look at their decision.
