Atascadero
Jim Guthrie, candidate for 4th District County Supervisor, will be the guest of honor at a get-together Sunday at the South Atascadero home of Jay and Tina Salter.
Guthrie, an Arroyo Grande City Councilman, is running to replace incumbent Katcho Achadjian, who is leaving the board after 12 years to run for state Assembly.
Although Guthrie, if elected, would represent South County on the board, supervisors as a group oversee the entire county and seek support from all parts.
The event will take place from 2 to 4 p.m. at the Salters’ home, 14080 San Antonio.
