Williamsburg Seeking Wet/Dry Vote

{Corbin, Kentucky}...Residents in another eastern Kentucky city have submitted petitions asking for a vote that could allow alcohol sales at restaurants in Williamsburg. If enough signatures are validated, the issue would go to voters to decide the matter. The nearby town of Barbourville has scheduled a local option vote for both restaurant and package alcohol sales on February 7th. The nearby cities of London and Corbin, which already allow restaurant sales, will hold votes on package sales next month. Wednesday, the Whitley County Clerk's office began verifying the more than 400 signed petitions turned in to them Tuesday afternoon.
