Will Sarah Palin speak in Wisconsin Nov. 6th? (Updated)

Take this with a box of salt unless and until Meghan Stapleton confirms it, folks, but the Chicago Tribune is reporting that the 2008 GOP vice presidential candidate will speak in a suburb of Milwaukee early next month as part of a benefit for Wisconsin Right to Life:

Officials say no tickets will be sold at the door of the Nov. 6 event at Wisconsin Exposition Center at State Fair Park in West Allis, Wis.

General admission tickets are $30 with a limit of four per order.

The event takes place just 11 days prior to the release date for the former Alaska governor's memoir Going Rogue.

The Wisconsin RTL Blog insists that it's for real, but we have heard that before. So far, nothing about the event is posted on Sarah Palin's Facebook Notes page, and there's been no press release posted on the website of the Washington Speakers Bureau, former Governor Palin's exclusive agent for her speaking engagements.

Also unconfirmed is this report from the Springfield (Missouri) News-Leader:

Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin will speak on patriotism, citizenship and civic engagement at College of the Ozarks at 7 p.m. Dec. 2 in the Keeter Gymnasium, a college news release said.

The prelude to the Leonard B. and Edith Gittinger Community Convocation featuring Palin will begin at 6:30 p.m.

The convocation is free and open to the public, but tickets are required.

Those seeking tickets may call 690-2240. Tickets are limited, and they will be distributed on a first-come, first-served basis.

College of the Ozarks is a private, Christian liberal-arts college in the Ozarks between Branson and Hollister, Missouri at Point Lookout.

Stay tuned...

Update: Jill Stanek talked to Wisconsin Right to Life president Barb Lyons, who disclosed this:

"We have been trying to get her for a year. We just found out Friday that we had her and had to wait until yesterday to release the info... We are incredibly excited!"
