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.

Re: Clinton coming to Cary on Friday
Which kind of tie is he supposed to wear for speaking on Friday in Cary? Oh wait, pardon me, the good people of Cary don't have a rule for that, so the former President can pick out any tie he wants.
