Did We Drop the Ball at the Tippecanoe County Latino Festival?

I was just at the Festival (hosted by Ivy Tech), and visited the Democratic Party's booth, and....nothing for Obama. What's up with that? Hillary had a whole side of a table, stickers, pamphlets, and a big poster in the background for all to see. Barack had one small stack of brochures.
With the Latino community being customarily drawn toward Clinton, didn't anyone think it *might* be a good idea to have relevant info and items at this event in favor of Barack?
I asked the person manning the booth about it, and he said he hadn't been given any Obama stuff, and seemed to be unsure of how to contact the field office. Anyone know anything about this? (It seems odd that the Democratic party office would need to hook up with the Obama field office anyway, they should have enough items and info for ALL the candidates)
(The ladies wearing their Hillary regalia handed my husband some stickers, and said they could really use his support. They tried to give one to me, but I told them I had already voted for Barack, and my Barackmobile was parked outside. They chuckled and said, "well, at least we got one", and I said that my home was a benign dictatorship, which Ryan concurred, saying he was the benign one, and I was the dictator. Muahahaha.)
