AUBURN – Elizabeth Edwards, wife of Democratic vice presidential candidate John Edwards, will make a return visit to the area Saturday morning.

Today John Kerry’s younger brother, Cam Kerry, will campaign in Lewiston, while U.S. Sen. Olympia Snowe, R-Maine, will campaign for President Bush in Rumford as MeadWestvaco paper mill workers leave work at 5 p.m.

The visits again illustrate how much voters are being wooed in Maine’s 2nd Congressional District, which has become a player in the national presidential election.

Edwards will campaign for her husband and John Kerry on Saturday morning at Wallingford Fruit House on Perkins Ridge Road. With the election 10 days away, she’ll join volunteers to kick off a grassroots push at what her campaign is calling a “Working Families Working for a Fresh Start” event.

Her talk will focus on the economy, the campaign said. Free apple dumplings, donuts, hot cider and coffee will be offered to the public beginning at 9:15 a.m.

Tickets for her Saturday visit are available at Democratic headquarters, 110 Lisbon St., Lewiston, today and Friday between 8:30 a.m. and 9 p.m. A limited number of tickets will be available, said campaign spokesman Jesse Derris.

Edwards will be spending Friday night in the Lewiston-Auburn area, after appearing at Waterville High School during the day Friday.

In Waterville she’ll speak, then answer questions, in a town hall meeting format similar to one she appeared at on Oct. 13 at the Lewiston-Auburn College.

Today Cam Kerry will join others at the Russell Park nursing home to talk about this year’s flu shot crisis. Kerry will join a nurse and John Carr of the Maine Council of Senior Citizens at a news conference at 12:15 p.m. at 158 Russell St., Lewiston.

Snowe will talk to mill workers about jobs and the economy. She’ll be joined by Republican state Senate candidate Robert Cameron and Republican state House candidate Paula Smith.
