The Effingham Chamber of Commerce has announced that a Candidate Forum will be held on Thursday, May 5, at 6pm at the Mars Theatre in downtown Springfield.

This Forum, sponsored by Hussey, Gay, Bell, will feature candidates who have opposition for the Board of Commissioners Chairman, School Board, Magistrate Court Judge, Superior Court Judge, and State Representative for District 159. Candidates will be questioned by a panel made up of two journalists and representatives from the Republican and Democratic parties. Refreshments will be served and will be provided by the Effingham Herald and Effingham NOW newspapers.

In an effort to get the candidates and the forum in front of more of the county, we will once again have students from ECHS and SEHS  to film and live-stream the forum on the internet. Click on this link: http://www.nfhsnetwork.com/events/effingham-county-high-school-springfield-ga/d96c83107f

This event will be free to the public but seating in the Theatre is limited so seating will be first come, first served.

For more information on the forum, contact Chamber Director, Rick Lott at 912-754-3301.
