County Denies Renewal of Wagon Box Liquor License

**UPDATE**

 There were some errors in this story that we would like to correct.

Vicky Owen is the former owner and John Melgaard is the current owner of the Wagon Box. Owen applied for the liquor license renewal, but during the process lost the business to Mr. Melgaard. The Commission denied the renewal application of the former owner and asked for the current owner to apply for the license. Also, Jeff Wallack’s name was misspelled as Jeff Wallach.

The Sheridan County Commission has denied the renewal of the liquor license assigned to the Wagon Box Inn in Story.

The commission held a public hearing during their last meeting, where current owner Vicky Owen explained that the license would be transferred back to John Melgaard, because she would not be continuing to run the business.

Jeff Wallach, representing Melgaard, explained the situation further.

After discussion by the commission, it was determined that they needed to act on the renewal before them.

They voted to not renew the license application and have Melgaard apply for a new liquor license which they would review once it is filed.
