Gov. Palin is scheduled to make her fourth speaking appearance in the state of Alabama tonight. The fundraiser for the Exceptional Foundation of Baldwin County is being held at the Marriott Grand Hotel in Point Clear:

The event is the first time that the 2008 Republican vice presidential candidate has addressed an audience in the Mobile Bay area, according to organizers.

"We’re looking forward to it," Craig Dahle, one of the Exceptional Foundation organizers said Monday. "It’s going well. We don’t have quite the crowd that we might have hoped for, but it looks like we’re going to have a good crowd."

Tickets for the event are still available, Dahle said. The price of tickets is $600 each. He said tickets can be purchased at the event or by calling 251-990-2271.

The evening event gets underway with a cocktail hour at 6PM local time, followed by a 7:15 PM dinner. Gov. Palin's address should begin at 8PM, followed by a question and answer session.
