As the temperatures fall into the 50s, trees start to change color, and cool fall breezes blow, an important day of decision approaches for Pendleton County and the entire nation.
To help county residents make the most informed decision possible on Election Day, the Pendleton County Economic and Community Development Authority has planned a political forum for Wednesday, Oct. 12. It will take place at the Pendleton County High School auditorium.
The forum will start at 6 p.m. following the regularly scheduled EDA meeting, which begins at 3 p.m. at the Pendleton Community Building in Franklin.
All invited candidates will have five minutes to speak. The community will have an opportunity to ask questions as well. Those who cannot attend in person may follow the forum live on the Pendleton County EDA’s Facebook page.
Pendleton County Commission candidates will all get a chance to speak; these include Jimmie Bennett, Charlie Burgoyne, Roger Dahmer, Tina Eye, and Gene McConnell.
Finally, Charles Hedrick, superintendent of Pendleton County Schools, will present important information concerning the school levy.
The EDA will also make a recording of the event available for anyone to access online.
