West Marlborough Township was mentioned in a May 22 news report on KYW News Radio 1060 after residents voted to allow liquor sales in the township, reversing the township's decades-long "dry" status. The vote was 91 to 43.
As I wrote back in March, the West Marlborough referendum was spearheaded by the folks at the Thomforde family's Stone Barn on Upland Road, which has been operating for 51 years. The Foxfire Restaurant there is now a BYOB, and alcohol is served at the Stone Barn's banquets and receptions. The family feels that having a liquor license would allow them to have more control over the liquor that people bring to the facility. They also want to be able to serve locally produced cider, beer, wine and spirits, in keeping with their farm-to-table philosophy.
Franklin Township was mentioned in the same news report for passing a similar liquor referendum; there the vote was 659 to 183.
