EPHRAIM, WI (WTAQ) – Voters in the last dry municipality in Wisconsin have successfully lifted that ban on beer and wine sales.
On Tuesday, the Village of Ephraim voted 127 to 98 to allow beer sales and approved selling wine 152 to 73.
Ephraim, which is in Door County north of Fish Creek and along the Bay of Green Bay, had been a dry village for 163 years. Twice before voters had rejected similar referendums to allow alcohol sales.
Hugh Mulliken petitioned for the votes, saying it could promote additional business in the village of 300 full-time residents.
