Former President Bill Clinton will campaign for Hillary Clinton on Friday in Cary and Charlotte, the campaign announced today.

He will appear on behalf of his wife, who is seeking the Democratic nomination for president.

The former president will be at the Cary Senior Center in Bond Park at about 4:45 p.m. Friday, according to town spokeswoman Susan Moran.

"We received a call from Senator Clinton's campaign this afternoon inquiring about availablility of the Cary Senior Center for a campaign event," she said.

The event, which is geared toward seniors, will be open to the public.

Seating capacity at the town-owned center is 320 inside, with overflow space for another 100 outside if the weather is nice.

The Clinton campaign will pay out-of-town and holiday rates for the center, which would otherwise be closed for Good Friday. The cost is $130 an hour, including set-up and take-down time.

Moran said the town is charging because it is a political event and not part of Clinton's role as former president.

"We would rent to anyone," she said.

Earlier in the day, he's scheduled for a 12:30 p.m. appearance at a VFW post on Central Avenue in Charlotte.

The Charlotte event is by invitation only. Veterans who would like to attend should get in touch with the Post 1160 commanding officer, the campaign said.
