Greencastle Mayor Sue Murray told the BannerGraphic Thursday, regarding today's visit of Former President Bill Clinton, that the doors at South Putnam Central Elementary's gymnasium will open at 1 p.m.

She said she was told by Secret Service officials that Clinton may not arrive until 2 p.m. to speak. She said there is seating for 700 people and possibly some standing room as well.

The Hillary Clinton for President Campaign sent out an e-mail to members of the media on Wednesday announcing Clinton's visit. South Putnam El-ementary is located at the intersection of U.S. 231 and U.S. 40 south of Greencastle. Barack Obama is in Terre Haute today.

  • Billary was scheduled for Greencastle at this time. Is he skipping out on us or planning something later.

    Boy that should really screw up the traffic pattern for a while along with the steel plates and holes in the road.

  • I was there! It was an honor to be selected as a volunteer and Bill Clinton did an awesome job speaking on Hillary's behalf.I was so proud of how well behaved our young people were and the crowd as a whole.It was well worth my time and the traffic was handled with no problem with our great law enforcement working together as a team.Maybe some folks don't like the Clintons but, I choose to listen to what all the candidates plan for the future whether I like them or not.I had pretty much made up my mind to vote for Hillary. Solutions for American Economy. Hillary has my vote.
