Members of the public are urged to attend the “Meet the Candidates Night” event sponsored by the Sugar Grove Chamber of Commerce and Industry and the Elburn Herald on Thursday, March 12, at the Sugar Grove Public Library, 125 S. Municipal Drive, Sugar Grove. Doors will open at 6 p.m., and the event will begin at 6:30 p.m.

This event gives voters a special opportunity to hear platforms of candidates and gauge the candidates’ responses to questions on important issues. Individuals seeking office with the village of Sugar Grove, the Sugar Grove Public Library, the Kaneland School Board, the Sugar Grove Fire District, the Sugar Grove Park District, and the Waubonsee Community College Board of Trustees have been invited to attend the event and will have a chance to introduce themselves.

Candidates in the contested races for the Kaneland School Board of Education and the Waubonsee Community College Board of Trustees will also participate in a special Q & A time. Community members are asked to submit questions for the candidates that might be used during the Q & A, with the understanding that time for questions will be limited. Please contact Shari Baum at 630-466-7895 or sbaum@sugargrovechamber.org if you would like to submit questions. Questions will also be accepted at the door the night of the event.

Admission to the event is free. Community members will have an opportunity after the event to meet and speak with candidates. Candidates will be allowed to display and distribute political materials.

This event is being held prior to early voting so that everyone will have the opportunity to hear from candidates before casting ballots. The early voting runs March 23 through April 5, with April 7 being Election Day.

The Sugar Grove Chamber of Commerce and Industry has at its focus the Sugar Grove business community. With the interests of its members and community in mind, the Chamber has hosted the “Meet the Candidates Night” for more than 20 years, and is pleased to welcome the Elburn Herald as a co-sponsor for this second time.

For more information on this event, please contact Shari at (630) 466-7895.
