Alcohol sales next to children's circus tent at St. Augustine Amphitheater

I've written our St. Johns County Commissioners, two State's Attorneys, the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation and our St. Augustine Police about a public nuisance -- alcohol sales next to a children's circus tent, on state property leased to St. Johns County for the St. Augustine Amphitheater, with all-cash sales of mixed alcoholic beverages from a mobile trailer with an expired Palm Beach County tag.  Here's a photo of an alcohol sales trailer from the website of the St. Johns County contractors, PROFESSIONAL CONCESSIONS, INC.:
