CONWAY — The countdown to Halloween is upon us, as this week’s cover story tells us, but the real scary season is the upcoming election on Nov. 3.
Hope you continue to do your due diligence so you can make an informed decision in federal and state races. Our staff has been busy keeping up with the candidates at all of the forums, and interviews are also posted on SUN-TV, which are also featured on Valley Vision Channel 3.
