After the official forum questions had been answered, moderator Larry Gooding opened the floor to questions from the audience.

The Chamber and Farm Bureau would like to thank the candidates who participated: incumbent Larry Foxworthy, running for Judge-Executive; incumbent Scotty Royse, running for Sheriff; incumbent David DeAtley, running for Magistrate in District 2; incumbent Connie Crain, running for PVA; Bob Gossett, running for PVA; Tim Cooper, running for Jailer; and Randy Hunt, running for Jailer. We would also like to thank State Representative Mike Denham for joining us at this event. Also, our thanks to Hinton Mills, Cafe deMorales and Ken's New Market for the delicious coffee and donuts we enjoyed and to Double S Entertainment for letting us use their facility for this event.

We urge all registered voters to visit the polls on November 2nd and vote for the candidates of your choice. Your vote counts!
