Exciting Forums Await Dare County Voters This Week!

Exciting Opportunities for Dare County Voters!

Hey there, Dare County residents! As we gear up for the upcoming elections, there’s some buzz in the air about two important forums happening this week that you won’t want to miss. This is a fantastic chance for you to hear directly from the candidates running for the Board of Education and the Board of Commissioners. So grab your calendars and mark these dates!

Board of Education Forum – September 30, 2024

First up is the Board of Education Forum, taking place on Monday, September 30th, from 7:00 PM to 8:30 PM. This event will be held in the Board of Commissioner’s Meeting Room at the Dare County Administration Building, located at 954 Marshall C. Collins Dr. in Manteo.

If you can’t make it to Manteo, don’t worry! The forum will also be livestreamed at The Fessenden Annex in Buxton, situated at 47013 Buxton Back Road, so you can still get in on the action from the comfort of Buxton.

Have Questions? Get Involved!

Here’s where it gets really interesting: Dare County residents are encouraged to submit questions for the candidates. This is your chance to voice your concerns or ask about issues that matter to you. Whether it’s about educational policies, funding, or community programs, don’t hold back! Engaging in this way ensures that the discussions are relevant and reflective of what the community wants to know.

Board of Commissioners Forum – October 3, 2024

Next on the agenda is the Board of Commissioners Forum, happening on Thursday, October 3rd, from 7:00 PM to 8:30 PM. Just like the BOE Forum, this event will take place in the Board of Commissioner’s Meeting Room at the Dare County Administration Building in Manteo and will also be livestreamed at The Fessenden Annex in Buxton.

Stay Informed and Engaged!

There’s really no excuse to not be informed this election season! Opportunities like these forums allow us as a community to engage and learn about our potential leaders. By attending or watching the livestream, you’ll be in a better position to make educated decisions when you cast your vote.

Other Exciting Happenings

For those who love the arts, the premiere of ‘Winged Horses of the Outer Banks’ has been rescheduled for October 3rd, adding even more excitement to the mix.
