The School Board forum begins at 4 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 24, will be held in the auditorium at Tell City Junior-Senior High School and will allow candidates for Tell City-Troy Township to share their reasons for wanting to join the school board and goals they have.
The school-candidates’ event will follow a 2 to 4 p.m. open house at the high school.
Candidates in county and school-board races are being mailed letters explaining details of the events.
Perry County residents are invited to submit questions they’d like to see asked of candidates. They can be mailed to The News at P.O. Box 309, Tell City, IN 47586, e-mailed to editor@perrycountynews.com or dropped off at the office at 537 Main St.

Candidates Forum Plans Set
TELL CITY – An Oct. 13 forum will give Perry County voters preparing to go to the polls a chance to hear the views of candidates seeking county offices. The forum is sponsored by the Perry County Chamber of Commerce and The Perry County News. The Oct. 13 event will be held at the Schergens Center and begins at 6 p.m.
Candidates in contested races for prosecutor, commissioner, county council, coroner and county clerk will talk about their reasons for seeking elected office. They’ll also answer questions. Unopposed candidates will be given time to introduce themselves and their reasons for seeking election or re-election.
“After a spirited May primary election, Perry County voters are again taking an interest in locally contested races. The forum is one of the best ways to hear from candidates’ own mouth why they’re running and what they’d like to do if elected,” News Editor Vince Luecke said. “The forum will also help News staff prepare for its profiling of candidates in the issues before the election.”
The Oct. 13 candidates forum will be on WTCJ 105.7 FM and will be streamed online at www.tellcityradio.com.
