Rapid City and District Chamber of Commerce hosted a federal candidates meeting last Wednesday which also drew voters from Oak River, Cardale, Minnedosa and Neepawa. Chairs were set in the Legion hall and more were added as people flocked in to become better informed before marking their ballot on Monday, Oct. 19.
