Sarah Palin returns to Virginia June 27 for Freedom Fest 2010

*
Freedom 1650 (WKHT), licensed to Portsmouth, Virginia, debuted its Conservative Talk Radio format on May 6, but the station is already doing big things. The AM outlet, which simulcasts with sister station WPMH, is sponsoring Freedom Fest 2010, an event headlined by Sarah Palin Saturday, June 27, at the Ted Constant Convocation Center in Norfolk.

Tickets are priced from $45 to $125 and can be purchased here. Directions to the Constant Center are here, and parking information is here.

Virginia should be familiar territory to Gov. Palin by now. Roanoke was one of the stops on her Going Rogue Book Tour last November, and during the 2008 campaign, she drew a huge crowd of 20,000 to a rally outside the Richmond International Raceway. The former GOP vice presidential candidate also roused crowds at rallies in Leesburg, Fredericksburg, Glen Allen and Salem, and she campaigned with her former running mate in Fairfax.

Update: Morning radio talker Steve Batton says he should be able to announce the names of the other guests by Monday:\
He did hint that they include a nationally known musician, a high-profile military person and a well-known author.

The event will also feature a salute to the military and first responders.

"It will be a very patriotic event," Batton said.
