Lake Highlands neighbors Rachel McGowan, Kile Brown and Jan Stell will join us at OHB to answer your in-depth questions and lightning rounders – with red and green paddles to indicate yes or no answers. Email your suggestions to moderator Carol Toler at ctoler@advocatemag.com or leave them in the comments of our Facebook page.

Brad Mall and Derrin Williams, LH neighbors and founders of OHB, say brewery doors will open at 5 p.m. and the forum will kick off at 7. Admission is free.

Board president Regina Harris is unopposed in District 4, and Vanessa Pacheco and Sherry Clemens are challenging incumbent Eron Linn in District 2 surrounding Berkner High.

Election Day is May 7. Early voting begins April 25.

Oak Highlands Brewery is at 10484 Brockwood just east of 635.
