(KAIR)--A chance to meet the candidates.

That's the reason behind an upcoming open house in Atchison.

Arranged by the community service organization Project Atchison, the October 11 event will be held from 6 until 7:30 that evening at the Atchison Elks Lodge, located at 609 Kansas Avenue.

According to a Facebook event page posted by Project Atchison, the open house forum is intended to be casual, and will allow the public to ask questions, discuss viewpoints, and get to know the candidates for the Atchison City Commission.

Seven candidates are seeking three open seats on the Commission, with that race to be decided during the November 7 General Election.

According to the Facebook event post, six of the seven candidates have so far confirmed their attendance at the forum.
