LAGRANGE, Ga. — LaGrange and Troup County voters approved a referendum to allow sales of beer, wine and spirits on Sunday mornings.
The so-called Brunch Bills passed by wide margins with both City of LaGrange and Troup County voters, firmly putting the Sunday drinks on the table.
That means across the county and in LaGrange, restaurants and other businesses can sell alcoholic drinks to customers from 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. on Sundays.
