Apple cider as New Hampshire’s state drink?

Three Jaffrey fifth graders have persuaded state Representative Bonnie Mitchell to sponsor legislation naming cider the official state drink.

Mitchell, a Jaffrey Democrat, said she spoke to the students last year when they were fourth graders studying government about their power to get laws passed. She pointed out that schoolchildren persuaded lawmakers to name the pumpkin as the state fruit three years ago and the Chinook as the state dog this year.

Mitchell said she expects Jaffrey elementary students to take an active role as the bill goes through the legislative process this winter.
