IRON MOUNTAIN — The Michigan Liquor Control Commission wants more documentation before it completes the transfer of a Class C liquor license to the Dickinson County Fair Board.

It remains to be seen if the fair board will follow through on having alcohol sales in lieu of allowing grandstand carry-ins at Norway Speedway, but first the license must be acquired.

The county board put the wheels in motion in May to buy a license held by Talons Supper Club in Norway. The expectation was that it would be a revenue source, while lowering liability risks.

Attorney Emily Gunville of Iron Mountain, who is working to finish the transfer, asked the county board Monday to help meet some hurdles. A resolution will be needed acknowledging creation of the fair board, which apparently was incorporated in 1910 but with no documentation available.

Also needed is a property document or lease that ties the fair board to the fairground property in Norway and a certified designation of the fair board’s authorized signers. The county board agreed to cooperate and may take action at its March 24 finance meeting.

In September, commissioners committed $50,000 to help the fair board buy the license, expecting repayment to the county by the end of 2026. Since then, four new members have been seated on the five-member county board and the fair board has raised the possibility of selling the license at a profit.

The fair board must seek consent from the county board if the license is ever under consideration of being sold. If alcohol sales were to begin, the license requires trained servers.

In other action, the county board:

The list includes Dickinson County Band concerts on June 25, July 4, July 9, July 16 and July 23; a Dickinson County Community Chorus concert on July 13; a road/trail run hosted by Dickinson-Iron Special Olympics on Aug. 16, also reaching into Fumee Lake Natural Area; and a Crafty Flea Market organized by Lake Antoine Park Partners and The Daily News on Sept. 6, with vendor setup Sept. 4-5.
