Candidate's Forum, Emmet County Commission, Tomorrow!
There is a lot of interest and a crowded field in the race for Emmet County Commission this year, and many of those seats will be determined in the Aug. 2nd primary election.  To help voters prepare, four organizations are teaming up to host a Candidate's Forum tomorrow, Wednesday June 29th, in the Iron Horse Café at North Central Michigan College.  Doors will open for a Meet & Greet at 6:00 p.m. and the program will begin at 7:00.  

This will be a moderated forum with questions provided by the event's organizers.  Audience members with specific questions are urged to come to the Meet & Greet and ask the candidates directly.  The forum is sponsored by the Petoskey Regional Chamber of Commerce, the Petoskey News-Review, Emmet Association of Realtors and North Central Michigan College.  Refreshments will be provided by Angel Heart Home Care.  The event is free and open to the public.  Pre-registration is not necessary.
