Candidate forum slated January 31 in Vidalia
posted E-mail Story E-mail Story | Print Story Print Story 
The public is invited to attend the Concordia Parish Candidate Forum scheduled Thursday, January 31, 2008, at the Vidalia Conference and Convention Center.

The forum is scheduled for 5:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.

Candidates for aldermen, police chief and mayor have been invited to take part in the forum. Municipal elections are scheduled February 9 in Vidalia, Ferriday and Ridgecrest.

Those candidates taking part in the forum will be provided a list of non-partisan questions distributed in advance. The candidates will not know which questions will be asked during the forum, but will have the opportunity to prepare their answers. Questions will be dispersed by Thursday, January 24, 2008.

Rosco of the "95 Country Morning Crew" and Sheri Rabb of First Natchez Radio Group will be the emcees. They will give a brief description of the forum, the format to be followed and the offices being represented.

The forum will begin with the Alderman offices and end with the Mayoral races. Candidates for each office will appear simultaneously on stage and will answer questions in alphabetical order.

Each candidate will be given a maximum of one minute to introduce themselves, then a maximum of two minutes to respond to his or her question. The candidate will be signaled at one minute and will have one minute to wrap up. A stopwatch will be used so that each candidate has equal opportunity.

The Concordia Parish Candidate Forum is being hosted by the Concordia Sentinel and First Natchez Radio Group, which includes four radio stations -- 95 Country-WQNZ, Kiss 97.3 WKSO, 105.1 The Groove-KTGV and 1450 AM WNAT. In addition, Wesley Bruce, of Bruce Video, will videotape the forum to be broadcast on Cable One's Channel 4, several times prior to the election.

The event is being advertised in the Concordia Sentinel and on the four radio stations that comprise First Natchez Radio Group.

For more information contact Stratton W. Hall at 601-334-2642 or by e-mail mailto:radiostratton@bellsouth.net.

The deadline to participate in the forum is Monday, January 21, 2008.
