Bill Clinton is coming to Cary.

The former president will campaign on his wife's behalf at the Cary Senior Center around 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.
