Candidates meet in forum in Watkinsville

Four candidates who are seeking two seats on the Oconee County School Board will face off in a forum set for this evening in Watkinsville: Republicans Amy Parrish and Ryan Hammock will square off against independents Ryan Repetske and Melissa Eagling in the 6:30 event at the Oconee County Civic Center in Watkinsville.

The actual program itself will be divided into two parts.  The first pair of candidates up will be for Post 2 - Amy Parrish and Ryan Repetske.  The second pair to follow will be for Post 3 - Ryan Hammock and Melissa Eagling.  These sections will be approximately 40-45 minutes in duration and will consist of a 3 minute opening statement from each candidate, followed by questions to both candidates from the moderator, and then a 3 minute closing statement.

The forum comes in advance of the November 8 elections that are now 43 days away.

Three weeks of early voting begin on October 17, three weeks from today.
