Obama to Hold Reservation Rally
May 17, 2008
BILLINGS, Mont. (AP) -- Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama has expanded his Montana itinerary by adding a rally on the Crow Indian Reservation, and campaign organizers say tickets to see him there will not be required.
Obama is scheduled to be in the state on Monday.
His campaign initially said he would appear in Billings and Bozeman. An appearance at Crow Agency's Apsaalooke Veterans Park has been added, the campaign said Friday.
The 2,000 tickets to Obama's "Town Hall for Working Families," scheduled for 10:45 a.m. Monday at Billings West High School, were snapped up within a couple of hours.
With no tickets necessary for the Crow Agency event, the Crow Tribe "warmly welcomes and invites members of the public from across Montana to attend," the Obama campaign said in a release.
The rally at Crow Agency is set for 2:45 p.m. Obama is scheduled for a 7:30 p.m. rally at Brick Breeden Fieldhouse on the Bozeman campus of Montana State University. Tickets are required.
