Know Your Town’s annual Candidates Night forum provides a unique opportunity to hear from those seeking Town Offices, either for re-election or as new candidates. Candidates will introduce themselves and respond to moderator questions from audience submissions. The public is invited to attend in-person, or to view the program live on Channel 15 or online at the Channel 15 website. The event is also recorded and available for viewing later at shctv15.com. Light refreshments will be served.
