This Saturday's Walloomsac Downtown River Walk will be attended by seven of the candidates on the ballot in November's election. Each of the candidates has expressed their interest in meeting and speaking with residents of the Bennington area in an informal setting.
The following candidates have confirmed that they will attend: Senators Brian Campion and Richard (Dick) Sears, Representatives Mary Morrissey and Michael Nigro, State Representative Candidate Jim Carroll, and Candidates for Sherriff Beau Alexander and James Gulley.
This month's stroller-friendly walk will take place on Saturday, October 22 at 10:00 a.m., and will start at the People's Park on Depot Street between Main Street and River Street. The walk will loop through the downtown area and stop at the Splash Pad for Q&A with the candidates. Cider donuts and refreshments will be provided.
Walloomsac Walks take place every third Saturday of the month at 10:00 am. The walks are pet-friendly, and people of all ages are invited to come out and enjoy this ongoing community event. In the case of inclement weather, cancellation notices will be placed on the Front Porch Forum and the Bennington Blotter.
