Demorest Council Weighs Alcohol-Service Request for Piedmont Formal at City Center
Demorest City Council took up Piedmont University’s request on Nov. 6, 2025, to hold the university’s spring formal at the Demorest Conference Center, a city facility, with alcohol served by a vendor. The proposed dance would run from 8 to 11 p.m. and draw an estimated 75 to 100 attendees; the minutes describe discussion of the request but do not record a final action.

The next public step would be a later Demorest City Council record that states whether Piedmont may use the Conference Center and, if so, the terms for alcohol service, policing and protection of the facility. Until council documents that outcome, it remains undecided whether the formal will move to the city center, whether alcohol will be allowed there and what safeguards the city will require.
This matter rests on a single official record so far. It stays compact until a later record adds to it.
