Three things to know for Monday, August 8
1. Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump is scheduled to be in Fayetteville on Tuesday for a rally at the Crown Arena, which is the 4,500-seat venue adjacent to the Crown Coliseum. If interested in registering for free tickets, go to donaldjtrump.com/schedule/ and select the Fayetteville event. However, according to the Trump campaign, entry to the event is first-come, first-serve, so a ticket doesn’t guarantee entry. The rally is set to start at 6 p.m. Doors to the arena are expected to open at 3 p.m.
2. Your continued support of Bladen Online is both inspiring and humbling. It makes us feel like the work we do really matters. For the week of July 31-Aug. 6, Bladen Online had 158,584 page views, which is the fourth-most in our nine-year history, and 40,060 visits, which is the second-most. On Tuesday, Aug. 2, there were 36,851 page views, which is the fifth-most in a single day. We can’t thank you enough.
3. The Bladen Community College Board of Trustees and Bladen County Board of Education are scheduled to meet today at 4:30 p.m. in the Bladen County School administrative office board room in ELizabethtown to discuss the Early College program for high school students.
And now you know.
