Grayson voters will soon have an opportunity to hear directly from the candidates seeking to serve as the city’s next mayor. Carter County Broadcasting will host a Grayson Mayoral Debate on Tuesday, October 20th, beginning at 6 o’clock that evening. The debate will give candidates an opportunity to discuss their vision, plans, and priorities for the community while answering questions submitted by members of the public.
The event will be streamed live on YouTube from the Go Radio Local TV page, giving residents a chance to follow along and hear from the candidates. And we’re inviting you to be part of the discussion by submitting questions you’d like the candidates to address. If you have a question about the future of Grayson, city services, community needs, or another issue you’d like to hear discussed, you can email it to mail@wgohwugo.com.
There are a few important guidelines to keep in mind when submitting your questions.
First, all questions must be submitted by email to mail@wgohwugo.com. Questions will be reviewed and vetted by Carter County Broadcasting before the debate. That process is intended to help ensure the questions selected are fair, appropriate, and clearly worded, without unfairly favoring or targeting any candidate through biased or loaded wording. All questions will be selected ahead of the event. No questions will be accepted live during the debate, so if there’s something you’d like the candidates to address, be sure to send it in advance.
And please understand that submitting a question does not guarantee it will be selected or asked during the broadcast. We expect to receive questions from members of the community, and not every submission may be included. The questions used will be chosen through the review process before debate night.
Again, the Grayson Mayoral Debate, hosted by Carter County Broadcasting, is set for Tuesday, October 20th, at 6 PM, with the event streamed live on YouTube on Go Radio Local TV.
Send your questions to mail@wgohwugo.com. Remember, all submissions must be emailed ahead of time, questions will be reviewed for fairness and neutrality, and no questions will be taken live during the debate. Submitting a question does not guarantee it will be selected. Join us October 20th as we hear from Grayson’s mayoral candidates and give voters an opportunity to learn more about the people and ideas on the ballot.
==================
If you’re a farmer in Carter County, there are a couple of opportunities coming up to learn more about a program that could provide some valuable assistance for your agricultural operation.
The Carter County Conservation District is getting ready to hold its annual CAIP Informational Meetings, giving local farmers a chance to learn more about the County Agricultural Investment Program, commonly known as CAIP.
And this year, organizers are offering two different meeting dates to make it a little easier for farmers to find a time that works.
The first meeting will be held today at 5 o’clock in the evening. If that evening doesn’t work for you, there’s another opportunity on Saturday, October 3rd, at 9 o’clock in the morning. Both meetings will be held at the Carter County Extension Office, located at 94 Fairground Drive in Grayson.
The informational meetings are designed to help local farmers learn more about CAIP, including the program and what they need to know to participate. There is an important requirement to keep in mind: you must have a Carter County farm number in order to participate.
The Conservation District also points out that attendance at this meeting does not count as an educational credit, so the purpose here is specifically to provide information about the County Agricultural Investment Program and help farmers understand what’s available.
Whether you’re already familiar with CAIP or you’ve never participated before, this is a good opportunity to get the information directly from the Carter County Conservation District and ask questions about the program.
Again, there are two opportunities to attend. The first is today at 5 PM, and the second is Saturday, October 3rd, at 9 AM. Both meetings will be at 94 Fairground Drive in Grayson.
If you need additional information, you can contact the Carter County Conservation District at 606-898-2619. You can also reach them by email at carterconservationdistrict@gmail.com.
So, if you’re a Carter County farmer and want to learn more about the County Agricultural Investment Program, mark one of those two dates on your calendar and plan to attend the CAIP informational meeting that’s most convenient for you.
