Lab tests have been a part of the Community Health Fair since its inception 15 years ago, and thanks to the City of Liberal and Apex Clean Energy, many of those test will be done free of charge this year.
The city committed $30,000 from the community development portion of the 1-cent sales tax to reduce the lab testing fees for this year’s Health Fair, with Apex contributing $5,000 to the cause.
Levi Williams moved from his hometown in Arizona to Liberal recently to start a truck and trailer business, and after doing that, he saw a lack of a brewery in town.
“It kind of drove me crazy,” he said. “I started looking for buildings and talking to some of the folks at the city, and they showed a lot of support for it, a lot of excitement for it. We looked into it further and decided to go for it.”
Williams’ search led to the building at 103 W. 2nd Street in Liberal, the former home of the Seward County Health Department, and he and his wife, Shelly Williams, made an offer on the building and bought it.
The Liberal City Commission had an easy time with its most recent regular meeting Tuesday evening.
Before the commission took on the agenda’s new business, a proclamation for Constitution Week was read.
“WHEREAS: Sept. 17, 2024, marks the 237th anniversary of the drafting of the Constitution of the United States of America by the Constitutional Convention; and WHEREAS: It is fitting and proper to accord official recognition to this magnificent document and its memorable anniversary; and to the patriotic celebrations which will commemorate the occasion; and WHEREAS: Public Law 915 guarantees the issuing of a proclamation each year by the President of the United States of America designating Sept. 17 through 23 as Constitution Week in Liberal, and ask our citizens to reaffirm the ideals of the Framers of the constitution had in 1787 by vigilantly protecting the freedoms guaranteed to us through this guardian of our liberties, remembering that lost rights may never be regained,” Liberal Mayor Jose Lara read.
