Debates are slated Oct. 14, 21 and 24 at the Hopkinsville Municipal Center for candidates running for city council, school board and District 9 state representative.
Voters will be asked to decide whether public money should go to support private education. Opponents say it would undermine public schools by shifting money from them, while backers maintain that state aid would give parents more control over their kids’ education.
One-of-a-kind pottery beer steins, created at Brushy Fork Creek Gallery for Hoptoberfest, will be featured. Events will include the beard and stein-holding contests and an adult spelling bee.
In addition to the candidate forums, the league's voter education efforts this fall will include a meeting with County Clerk Melinda Humphries and a meet and greet event for voters and candidates.
