Sarah Palin booked for Christian women's event in April

*
Gov. Sarah Palin has been booked to speak at an inspirational Christian conference at Louisville's Freedom Hall in April, according to the Courier-Journal. It will be her first visit to the area since a campaign stop October 29, 2008 just across the Ohio River in nearby Jeffersonville, Indiana:

Palin, whose 2009 autobiography Going Rogue is among the top-selling political autobiographies of all time, will speak at a "Women of Joy" conference, which is designed "to enhance and energize the spiritual lives of Christian woman." The conference, sponsored by Phil Waldrep Ministries, is held in multiple cities each year, but Palin is only speaking at the Louisville gathering.

"We are excited to be welcoming the Women of Joy conference to town again this year," said Jim Fraser, 88.5 WJIE general manager. "This will be Mrs. Palin’s only appearance with the conference, and we are thrilled she chose to do it in Louisville."

Since the event was announced, "this has been one of the biggest responses I’ve ever seen," said Chris Crain, promotions director for the Christian radio station. He said he's received a steady stream of callers seeking ticket information.

Ticket and lodging information is here, and those who plan to attend the event can register here.
