Democratic presidential front-runner Barack Obama is scheduled to make a Twin City appearance on Thursday.
Obama is expected to speak at Virginia High School, Superintedent Doug Arnold said Tuesday.
“I’m hearing that the Obama camp called Virginia High this morning to inquire about renting the facility for a town hall-style meeting,” Arnold said.
The event will be held in the school gymnasium and is expected to begin about noon, VHS Principal Ina Danko said.
“This will be a ticketed event and if you don’t have a ticket, you can’t get in,”: Danko said.
Tickets will be distributed Tuesday from 7-9 p.m. at Virginia High School, 1200 Long Crescent and the Boucher for Congress campaign office, 137 S. Court St., in Abingdon.
Tickets will be available at those locations plus the United Mine Workers office in Castlewood, Va., on Wednesday from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m.

Not only 50 states but also the third world country I grew up in called Appalachia.
