ABERDEEN, S.D.(Press Release)- After last week’s Candidate Forums for school board, county, and city council, we have decided that we need to allow more time for each session at the upcoming Legislative Candidate Forum.  As a reminder, the forum will be held on Saturday, May 14^, 2022, still starting at 9:00 am, but now wrapping up at 1:20 pm instead of 12:00 pm. We have added a  ½ hour to each session. I hope that this change does not impact your ability to attend. Once again, we will be in the Kessler’s Champions Club in the Barnett Center at NSU.

We will follow the NEW schedule below:
