Earlier this month, local Democrats flooded Central New Hampshire for the annual Sandwich Fair. Shaw, a local teacher and Obama fan, reported that foot traffic past the Democratic booth was awesome. According to Shaw, the Sandwich Democrats had wonderful support and enthusiasm from a crowd that some estimated at 10,000 people for the weekend. Folks loaded up on their favorite Obama gear, picked up information on volunteer opportunities with their Local Field Office, and educated themselves on all of the down-ticket Democratic candidates.

Shaw explained that the Sandwich Fair is a traditional agricultural fair that has been running annually for well over a century. It features an old fashion midway with rides as well as events like tractor pulls, oxen twitching, and show horse jumping. Dozens of farm animals are carefully groomed and judged- you'll find everything from chickens and rabbits, to cattle and llamas, to goats and ducks. As with most fairs, food is a big draw too. Blue ribbons are awarded for the best apple pie, top blueberry jam, biggest pumpkin, and most beautiful quilt - just to name a few.

Although Sandwich sits in one of the more rural sections of the state, local residents can volunteer at one of the four Obama Field Offices up north. Whether you only have an hour on a weeknight for some data entry or a couple hours for neighborhood canvassing or phone calls, we need you. With Marty in Plymouth, Scott and Ashley in Conway, Tim and Joe in Laconia, and Kate in Berlin, there's no shortage of field organizers to get you connected in the North Country. With eight days left to connect with undecided voters in Northern New Hampshire, the time to act is now. Your voice is too important. We need you. Join us. Sign-up to join New Hampshire for Obama
