Sunday liquor sales approved in Winfield

Winfield city commissioners unanimously approved an ordinance allowing packaged liquor sales on Sundays and some holidays during their Monday meeting. The new ordinance allows packaged liquor sales between noon and 8 p.m. on Sundays, and on Memorial Day, Independence Day and Labor Day. Sales will still be barred on Thanksgiving and Christmas. Sales will also not be allowed on Easter Sunday. The ordinance goes into effect 60 days following its publication in the newspaper or on Aug. 20, 2020, whichever is later. It repeals the current Section 6-194 of the municipal code, which bars Sunday and holiday liquor sales, and replaces it with a new section containing the revised laws.
