A speaker, Jeff, spoke in support of the Chamber's license for Woktober, describing it as the ninth annual downtown wine/beer walk. He said the DORA would not be activated, samples would be consumed inside participating shops, tickets sell out every year, about 45 tickets remained as of the meeting, and event proceeds support downtown promotions. He stated the event had never had any troubles.
