 At the Taylor County Expo Center for the next three days, is the Zopapolooza. For the first time, this event is no longer a BYOB event.

Now at the Expo Center, you can buy beer, and that is changing the look and the feel to the events at the Coliseum. Already neon signs promoting the cold brews can be seen hanging next to stands.

This is the second weekend at the Expo Center, so just how are these sales looking?
 
Jay Evans, President of the Board of Directors, says the first weekend wasn't what they expected, but this weekend should show a better picture for the future.

"This weekends event, we will be having several concerts in the Coliseum. Those are more the types of events that the alcohol policy was developed for. So we really anticipate this to be a whole lot better test and indicator for what we can expect from future events," says Evans.
