Primary 2020: When the candidates came to town

CONWAY — The time to vote in the first-in-the-nation New Hampshire Primary is almost upon us. And if it seems like the presidential candidates have been running for a long time, you’re right.

While communities outside the valley hosted candidates and events, this neck of the woods, like some maple trees this time of year, remained untapped.
