"We have a good ways to go in North Carolna," said Hill Carrow, a Raleigh sports marketer who is Romney's state coordinator. "A lot of people don't necessarily know Mitt. He's been other parts of the country more."
The event on August 30th will cost $500 per person or $1,000 per couple although people will pay more for a photograph and a special reception.
