The League of Women Voters of Kootenai County is inviting community members to watch the Coeur d'Alene Press "Meet the Candidates" interviews during a viewing event from 1 to 3 p.m. Saturday.

The viewing will take place in the Schmidt Conference Room at Lutheran Church of the Master, 4800 N. Ramsey Road, Coeur d'Alene.
