The Century Town Council voted Tuesday night to close a town street for a
local bars midget wrestling event.
The vote was 4-0 with council president Dynette Lewis absent to close Ivey
Street from 3-11:30 p.m. on Saturday, March 23.
Mayor Luis Gomez, Jr. only told the council that Odoms Bar made the
request to close the street, but he never told the council the nature of
the event before their vote.
According to online event posts by the bar and the promoter, Odoms will
host midget wrestling the night of March 23.
The town will charge Odoms for the overtime call out pay of an employee
twice once to close the street and a second time to remove the
barricades. For each callout, the bar will reimburse the town for a two
hour minimum for the employee.
