Doors open in Norwalk for former President Clinton’s appearance.

The astro-turf at the South Norwalk Fieldhouse is beginning to fill up with spectators who’ve come to see former President Bill Clinton speak.

Other expected speakers are Democratic gubernatorial candidate, former Stamford mayor Dannel Malloy, U.S. Senate candidate, State Attorney General Richard Blumenthal, and U.S. Rep. Jim Himes, D-Greenwich.

Clinton’s appearance is the second punch of presidential cache for our area this weekend following President Barack Obama’s appearance in Bridgeport Saturday at the Arena at Harbor Yard to stump for Himes and other candidates.

Himes’ campaign is hoping for a strong Democratic turnout on Election Day this week to help fend off a tough challenge from State Sen. Dan Debicella, his Republican opponent.

“We need to do everything we can to participate and take part,” South Salem,N.Y. resident Andrea Hutchinson said.
