Sarah Palin attending Minnesota fundraiser tonight

From Dennis Lien of the Twin Cities Pioneer Press:

Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin apparently has agreed to attend a private fundraiser Monday for a Minnesota conservative group called the Freedom Club.

The group has sent out an invitation identifying Palin as the featured guest at the event following her noon book signing at the Mall of America. The invitation, which asks couples or individuals to contribute $5,000, will be at the Hilton Hotel in Bloomington.

Proceeds taken in by the Freedom Club will go toward electing Republicans to the Minnesota House, according to the invitations which were sent out by the group.

Star Tribune Blogger Rachel Stassen-Berger reports that Rep. Michele Bachmann will also be at the event.
