Metro East residents will have the opportunity to meet with potential employers face to face this weekend, thanks to local legislators, according to a press release.

State Reps. Katie Stuart, D-Edwardsville, Monica Bristow (D-Alton) and Jay Hoffman (D- Swansea), and state Sen. Rachelle Crowe (D-Edwardsville) will host a job fair from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. April 6, at the Granite City Township Hall, 2060 Delmar Ave., in Granite City.
