HURRICANE, W.Va. -- Voters are invited to learn more about the candidates that will appear on the November ballot during a candidate forum, scheduled for 6-8 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 7 at Sleepy Hollow Golf Club off Great Teays Road.

The Putnam County Chamber of Commerce and Putnam County Rotary Club have invited candidates for all contested State Legislature and Putnam County offices to address the public and participate in a question-and-answer session.
