during each licensed event. The licensed premises may include designated

attendance at a licensed event or class.

(k) The licensee may request minor alterations to the date(s), hours, and
premises specified for a licensed event by submitting a change request to
the Village Clerk not less than twenty-one (21) days before the event. The
Chairman of the Liquor Control Commission shall be authorized to approve
