Candidates have ample time to get ready for the big political rally July 20 sponsored by the Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 5625 and its Ladies Auxiliary in Chiefland.  The event is open to the public.
Everyone should bring an appetite as there is a dinner beforehand and a dessert auction following the forum.
The rally at 7 p.m., in the Post's smoke-free meeting room, will allow each candidate three minutes to speak to the public.
Before the jawboning starts, the post will host a country fried dinner with sides from 5 to 7 p.m. for a donation.

School Superintendent Bob Hastings, a third generation educator in Levy County, has announced plans to seek re-election.
