♥️We couldn’t have asked for a more gracious group of thoughtful, caring citizens who attended the 2024 Rural Chesapeake Candidate Forum🇺🇸🇺🇸 last night. We thought the candidates did a great job too! They were very thankful for the opportunity to meet with our community. Thank you to everyone who submitted questions. They were thought-provoking! We also really appreciated the support of local farms, businesses and civic organizations. Thank you: Hickory Ruritan Club Hickory Ridge Farm Historic Greenbrier Farms Lowry Homestead Creations, LLC, Southern Branch Nursery Carl M. Dozier and Mr. Ervin Williams.
