5 Things: Here's How to Help Miss NH Become Miss America

1. Help Miss NH Win Miss America Competition: It will take you less than a minute to vote for our Miss New Hampshire, Samantha Russo of Nashua, who is a strong contender for Miss America. You can only vote once between now and Sept. 12 in advance of the pageant, which airs  Sunday, September 15, 2013 at 9 p.m. on ABC, live from the Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City, New Jersey! Click here to cast your vote.

2. Scott Brown Not Running for Governor: Cross "governor" off Scott Brown's to-do list, at least for now. The former Mass. senator said Wednesday that he will not be a contender.  

3. Another Teen Idol in a Slump: David Cassidy of Partridge Family fame was recently arrested on drunken driving charges in New Jersey, according to TMZ. They also got a kick out of the fact that the trooper who arrested Cassidy was named Tom Jones. 

4. Job Fair Seeks Employers: Fifth annual Project Employment Connect is gearing up for a September event at City Hall. Needed: Some local employers looking for eager workers. Contact Tom Lopez by August 24 if you're interested. Information here.

5. Howard Dean Coming to NH: Howard Dean is making the rounds, heading to New Hampshire next, following a Wednesday stop in Iowa. Coincidence? We don't think so. You can find details here about the visit next month, at St. Anselm College, where Dean is set to talk about health care. Holla!
