While I am sitting in the dark but wanted to get this out before Thursday, first of all I hope everyone is safe from that huge storm! There where many alerts that had everyone concerned, I even saw some pictures of tornadoes. Back to the topic but hope everyone is safe.
We are in Week 2 of the Municipal election race and one of the biggest events in the County is on this weekend, The Paris Fair.
I know in the past we have seen candidates at the fair and have a booth or in the Past I have seen Steve Howes driving the shuttle to and from the parking lot. So I thought I would reach out to all the candidates and see if there are any days that they are planning on being at the fair and you could have a quick hello and maybe a little chat if you can in all that noise and fun of the fair.
Before this I have reached out to the candidates to gather a little more information than they can provide on the Brant’s certified nomination page, I have filled out the ones we have so far on our site if you have not checked it out yet https://brantvotes.ca/candidates/. Here you can get a face to the name of the candidate if you see them at the fair.
I also have an Events page for any event that I hear of that is connected to the election, if I am missing one please let me know. https://brantvotes.ca/events/
