Sarah and Todd Palin have been invited to a high society event in Saratoga Springs, New York. "Breakfast at Tiffany’s" is an annual gala hosted by Marylou Whitney and John Hendrickson, and it's on the social calendar for August 6 at the Canfield Casino in Congress Park. Jimmy Vielkind reported Monday in his Capitol Confidential column in the Albany Times Union:
“They’re friends of mine, they’ve expressed an interest that they would like to come, we’ve extended an invitation and they’re trying to work it out,” Hendrickson told me by phone. “But there’s nothing definite.”Read the full Capitol Confidential item here.
Indeed, two aides to the former Alaska governor did not immediately return requests seeking confirmation of her attendance.
Hendrickson first met Sarah Palin when both were living in Alaska in the 1990s. Hendrickson was working as a top aide to then-Alaska Gov. Walter Hickel and Palin was a member of the Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission.
Last month, the Palins watched the Belmont Stakes last month in the box belonging to Hendrickson and Whitney. They were there to cheer a horse named “First Dude” after the nickname Palin gave her husband.
“She has the charisma of a Bill Clinton,” Hendrickson said in a 2008 interview with the Times Union. “She’s extremely independent, and has a habit of going against the Republican Party when she thinks they are wrong.”
