A Lewis County Beer Board meeting was held on August 11, 2020 in which a beer permit for LaToya Coleman was considered for the use of an over-night festival on 830 Walker Road.

The festival is planned to consist of a Spanish-style rodeo and live music, where the music is played during the rodeo and attendees could camp out until the next morning.

Controversy struck when it was discovered that the man who owned the property, John Herriott, also owned Whispering Oaks.

Whispering Oaks is described as a “21 and older, ALL MALE, clothing optional Club,” on their website, mywhisperingoaks.org.
