Informational meeting, debate for Cavendish voters

The Cavendish Community and Conservation Association will hold an informational meeting and debate for Cavendish voters at 7 p.m., Thursday, Oct. 23 at the Cavendish Town Elementary School at 573 Main St. in Proctorsville.

There are two candidates: Stuart Lindberg, an Independent, and the incumbent, Mark Huntley, a Democrat. Both are from Cavendish. Candidates will address the voters and debate the issues in a moderated debate.
