Welcome to the Town of
South Thomaston
Candidate Night
Don’t forget — Candidates Night is tomorrow, Friday, May 15, from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM at the Gilford Butler Center!
This is a great opportunity to meet the candidates running for Selectboard and learn more about the people seeking to serve our town. Each candidate will introduce themselves, share why they are running for office, and answer a few questions.
At the June 9 election, voters will fill three open Selectboard positions, so this is an excellent chance to hear directly from the candidates before Election Day.
We hope you’ll join us for an informative and welcoming evening!
