The "surprise" visit (the media was on alert to be prepared for something the night before and were given an hour's notice of the precise location Saturday morning) really delighted the folks enjoying an otherwise typical Saturday morning breakfast at the Yankee Kitchen Family Restaurant.
You can read The Vindicator's terrific account here:
A Real Eye-Opener
En route to my shift at the Canfield Fair, Mary and I drove the the Yankee Kitchen Family Restaurant parking lot a short time before the campaign stop to gawk at the Secret Service and police presence. I really wanted to stop in, but the fair beckoned...
My favorite image from Sunday's newspaper is this one:

Just some folks down the street from us enjoying breakfast... The Vindicator reported "Barack Obama had waffles, bacon and two eggs over medium at the Yankee Kitchen Family Restaurant in Boardman. Joe Biden ordered the French toast."
Imagine the pressure on the cook and the waitress!
This up-close-and-personal access is one of the many benefits of living in a key battleground state. We expect to see the presidential candidates from both sides in the area many times in the next two months.
More later,
Mark
