Cheering Crowd greets Gov. Palin in Carmel, Indiana

Some spent the night in the store

Hundreds of fans gathered in a suburban store north of Indianapolis to get their copies of her book signed by Sarah Palin, according to a Columbus Republic story:

Palin greeted fans and signed copies of her book, "America By Heart," at the Carmel Meijer store Thursday evening. The Carmel visit is the only one in Indiana listed on Palin's Facebook page.

Palin shook hands and made chit-chat as the line moved through a cordoned-off area of the store.

Some waited for hours to see Palin, including a number who spent the night in the store.

Gov. Palin's "Going Rogue" book tour stopped in Fort Wayne and Noblesville last year when she signed copies of her best-selling first book.

More reporting on the Indiana event by The Indy Channel (WRTV-TV), The Indianapolis Star (which also has a photo gallery), WXIN-TV and a video package which aired earlier today on WISH-TV. The Indiana News Center reported this morning that Kristen Dorini, the first person in line, arrived at the store at 7:30 Wednesday night.
