Me too Sandra. I would be glad to be involved if you do decide to have a public forum. I certainly understand your dilemma having participated in several of them with very few people showing up and most of the ones that did show up were family.
Where would we be with out family?

Pappy ain't got no reverse, just slow an' stop. Hee hee. Just let ol' Pappy know if I can do somethin' to he'p. I don't know how much them volunteerin' jobs pay, but in the spirit o' he'pin' a good cause, I'll do it fer free.

| I'm sure these things are a lot of work, but are really appreciated by the people who attend. I know people who have been at the ones I've attended have made it clear they thought they were very well done and helpful. Maybe there would be groups in each community who would be willing to help, not only the night of a public forum (if the NW Observer decides to do one) but in getting the word out so lots of people would attend so they could learn more about potential leaders of their towns.

You're right, Macca. I'm sure they're lots o' work, but they've always been a lot o' benefit to me an' I think lots o' people would benefit if they would just come out to 'em.
Pappy just had a thought. (It was a painful an' traumatic experience, for which I recommend medication later.) What if we held the candidates forum one Saturday afternoon in the park, with a band an' barbecue an' such? Make it a community event! Also have candidates there to speak an' answer questions and mingle with the people.
I'd go to such as that, an' I think a lot o' others would too. I bet we could find some sponsors an' volunteers.

Pappy
I think you are on to something!
I was thinking of a less formal meeting of the candidates.
Something where we could mingle one on one and get up close and personal with the electorate.

Much obliged, Mr Attaway. I like that more informal minglin' an' up close part of it, too. I wouldn't think such a event would need to be too elaborate either. Food an' music, just a little extry somethin' to get folks' attention. We already got a playground fer the young'uns. (I was hongry when I thought of it, so I naturally threw some food in the mix.)
I'd also like to see a online forum. Folks could eat some cheese doodles an' listen to Louis Armstrong sing What a Wonderful World while they peruse the candidates forum too.

Mr Attaway, I reckon was thinkin' more of a Summerfield candidates forum at the Summerfield park when I thought of it. I reckon the model would work (or not) as well for each of the towns to do their own as they see fit.
I don't really have much preference fer who or what would sponsor such a event, I just thought we needed somethin' fun to get the town to come out.

Pappy,
I was only endorsing the Idea as a good one, me and you both knew that! If you hear from Mike tell him I have a chicken and
bacon biscuit!

James, if you think about it, we already have a weekly forum for the Stokesdale candidates for office which meets every week of the year. Same time and same place.
What? Where? When?
