TAMWORTH — Republicans in central Carroll County are planning to hold a series of town hall forums and have invited local Democratic lawmakers to join them; however, the Democrats have questioned the safety of holding such in-person meetings amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
The first Town Hall will be held Wednesday at 6 p.m. in a tent at the Preserve at Chocorua events venue.
