Oxford mayor OK with limited Sunday alcohol

OXFORD – Mayor Pat Patterson has decided to support a request by the Board of Aldermen to legalize restaurant sales of alcoholic beverages on certain special-event Sundays.

Board members approved the measure on Dec. 7 by a 4-3 margin, and Patterson had not disclosed until Monday whether he would veto or sign the request.

The city will ask for Alcohol Beverage Control approval to permanently authorize on-premises Sunday sales of liquor and wine between 11 a.m. and 9 p.m. on Valentine’s Day, Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, University of Mississippi home football weekends and New Year’s Eve.
