Paul to appear in Sandpoint

SANDPOINT - The race for the Republican presidential nomination will make its way to Bonner County next week with a visit by candidate Ron Paul.

The Texas congressman will arrive in Sandpoint on Monday morning, where he will begin his day by touring Quest Aircraft, according to event planners. Afterward, Paul is holding a town hall meeting at the Bonner County Fairgrounds. The gathering will be held in the main exhibition hall and is scheduled to begin at noon.

Paul's Sandpoint visit will be the first in a series of stops around the state preceding Idaho's Tuesday caucus.

After leaving Sandpoint, he'll head south through the state, hitting the University of Idaho campus in Moscow. There, Paul's campaign staff plan to use the Kibbie Dome as the venue for the rally.

Finally, the campaign train will reach its last stop for the day at the Civic Auditorium in Idaho Falls.

According to the Associated Press, Paul is then expected to headline an event at Northwest Nazarene University in Nampa the following day.
