Who are those people? Do you say that as you consider the names of the candidates on the ballot this fall? The solution to your problem is the Candidates Meet & Greet 2018 sponsored by the Wake Forest Area Chamber of Commerce and the Knightdale-Wake Forest Alumnae Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority.
The event will be held from 7 to 9 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 23, at the Wake Forest Renaissance Centre at 405 Brooks Street.
During this event you will be able to meet many of the local, state and federal candidates. Each candidate will have a dedicated table where they can meet with area residents and provide campaign material. People can circulate as they please and visit the candidates of their choice. It is, of course, free.
