Sounds like the owners of those private clubs are probably on the county board.
Some of them are. But, the counties vote whether they are wet or dry. It has a lot to do with being in the Bible Belt. Also, except for the counties where Fayetteville (U of A) and Little Rock ( UALR), all counties that have a college located in them voted themselves dry.

But, in Jonesboro (ASU), the counties above and below us were 'wet'. Both were about 15 minutes away and had liquor stores within 20 feet of the county line. You would walk through the house and tell people that you were "Runnin' to the line." People would either go with you or give you money and a list of what to buy.
