Republican Vice President candidate Sarah Palin will make her first appearance in North Carolina, with a stop at a fundraiser in Greensboro later this month.

Palin will be the attraction at a fundraiser at the home of Greensboro business man Louis DeJoy and former Ambassador Aldona Wos on October 16th to benefit the national ticket, according to DeJoy, who is state McCain/Palin chair, Rob Christensen reports.

Palin is substituting for President Bush who cancelled his scheduled event Tuesday at the DeJoy home because of the financial crisis in Washington.

It is not clear whether Palin will make any public appearances while in North Carolina.

This would be the first campaign appearance by either McCain or Palin in North Carolina since the primaries.
