BUCKLIN, Kan. (AP) – Voters in a southwestern Kansas town with roughly 800 residents but no liquor store will decide whether to allow sales of alcohol on Sunday afternoons.
The Ford County community of Bucklin is holding a special election Tuesday on the question.
Bucklin Mayor Mike Fisher said Sunday sales are allowed in the town of Ford, about seven miles away, and Coldwater, about 20 miles away.
The mayor says Bucklin had a liquor store and two convenience stores when talk of allowing Sunday sales first arose. The liquor store and one convenience store have since closed. Fisher says those two establishments might reopen if Sunday sales are approved
