Lake Chamber to host October forums for council, trustee and school board candidates

The Lake Township Chamber of Commerce will host three local candidate forums in October, offering residents the chance to hear directly from those seeking office in Hartville and Lake Township.

The forums will feature candidates for Hartville Village Council, Lake Township trustee and Lake Local school board. Chamber President Chip Weisel will serve as moderator, with questions prepared in advance and equal response time for all participants.

“These candidate forums are an important opportunity for residents to become informed about the issues and the people who want to represent them,” Weisel said. “The Chamber is committed to fostering civic engagement and ensuring our community has access to open, respectful dialogue.”

The schedule is:

• Tuesday, Oct. 1, 8 a.m. — Hartville Village Council forum, Comfort Suites, 953 Edison St. NW, Hartville
