In Colon, crowded fields are featured in both the village council race and the Colon Community Schools Board of Education contest.
Seven people are running for three positions to the village council. The four-year term is being sought by Mickey Blashfield, Donald D’Water, Jan Jones, Matthew Smith, John Sterlini, Keith Stickley and Carl Thornton.
Two seats are up for grabs to the school district’s board of education. The six contestants are Kendra Ackerman, Cathy Fellers, Kory Frisbie, Tim Haidl, Paige Smolarz and incumbent Deb Bordner.
The seats are for six years each.
In addition, Tim Trattles and Angie VanderStraaten are running for a partial-term board of education seat. It expires at the end of 2026.
