Organizers and panelists are still hoping both mayoral candidates will attend a debate next week.
The Warsaw Mayoral Candidate Debate is at Lakeview Middle School April 11th at 6 p.m.
Incumbent Mayor Joe Thallemer has confirmed he will participate, but City Councilman and mayoral candidate Ron Shoemaker has declined.
He announced late last month that he would not attend because the event was orchestrated without his commitment.
