Pinehurst political forum next week

PINEHURST –– A nonpartisan political forum is scheduled for Wednesday at the Pinehurst-Kingston Lions Building.

The city of Pinehurst has found itself squarely in the crosshairs of political season, with several contested elections, including a race for mayor, and three open city council seats.

Debbie Marek, one of the event organizers, hopes that the forum allows people to hear from the candidates in an open and organized setting.

According to Marek, all of the candidates for the races mentioned above have been invited to the forum, which will be a question-and-answer format.

The forum is October 25, at 6:30 p.m., and will run through 8:30 p.m. with refreshments provided.

The Pinehurst-Kingston Lions Building is located at 106 Church Street in Pinehurst.
