Monday the deer Creek Chamber is holding a Candidate Meet and Greet. It is a great chance to get up close and personal with the candidates running for office. Each candidate will be at a separate table to answer questions and talk with attendees.
The format for the event will be each Candidate will have their own table where individuals can come and talk with the candidates individually. The event is open to the public. The point of the event is to create an informal atmosphere where people can get to know the candidates.
The Event Details are as follows:
Date: Monday May 17, 2010

We just confirmed the following candidates for attendance at the event as well:
Randy Brogdon- Candidate for Governor
Robert Hubbard- Candidate for Governor
Representative for Drew Edmondson- Candidate for Governor
From what I understand, it will not be a full-blown, knock-down drag out, caged death match kind of debate forum, but rather a chance for candidates listed above to meet possible constituents. Rumor has it that there has been some difficulty in confirming Drew Edmondson. We'll see who shows up
If you can attend, please do.
