BIG FLATS -- Many young people came out Monday to meet the woman who could make history as the first female president of the United States.

The youths were among the hundreds of people who gathered at the Big Flats Community Center to hear U.S. Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton talk about the importance of supporting local agriculture.

Corey Bailey, 18, of Elmira, who will be a first-time voter this fall, said he is a "big supporter" of Clinton. "When I was in fourth grade, I met her at Bradley Farms (in Southport), and was surprised at how friendly and polite she was to such a young kid," Bailey said. "I've never forgotten that moment. She made a great impact (on me) and I will always support her."

Some of the young people said they were impressed by Clinton's willingness to take time with people. She leisurely walked through the Big Flats Farmers Market, which was under way outside the community center during her appearance. She frequently stopped to pose for photographs, sign autographs and answer questions.

"She just seems like an overall good person," McCormick said.
