Ionia Sentinel-Standard
BELDING An application for an annual community market in Belding was approved Tuesday evening after discussion regarding liability insurance.
The Belding City Council unanimously approved a special events application for the Belding Beatnik Bazaar at its virtual meeting Tuesday, Feb. 16.
Belding Police Chief Dale Nelson wrote to the council recommending the Beatnik Bazaar application be approved if the organization provides its own liability insurance. Beatnik Bazaar Market Master Jenny Bennett said providing insurance wasn’t a requirement in the previous six years of the event believing the city’s liability covered the organization in the past.
