    Anyone have more information?
    I heard the last second on a news program so all I got was he was visiting Michiana on Thursday. I don't even know if that meant this Thursday or the next Thursday or ???
    What possible reason would bring him to the Liberal world of Northern Indiana? :dunno:

    Anybody?

    The 7 p.m. rally now is planned for North Side Gymnasium,which is much larger than the initially announced venue, Atlantic Aviation at South Bend International Airport.


    “We are delighted the vice president can join President Trump Thursday to celebrate the booming economy that’s helping families throughout Indiana,” Michael S. Glassner, chief operating officer of Donald J. Trump for President Inc., said in a written statement.


    Trump and Pence also will urge Republicans to turn out at the polls in November, when Democrats hope to ride a “blue wave” of anti-Trump voter sentiment and retake control of Congress.


    The rally will come two days after either Mike Braun, Luke Messer or Todd Rokita, the front-runners in the GOP senate primary race, likely will have won Tuesday’s election and the right to challenge Democratic Sen. Joe Donnelly.

    ETA: Seems to be this Thursday DD

    Thanks for the info guys.

    Elkhart is better than South Bend or Mishawaka. So, it's at a school. I guess carrying a gun is out. Campus parking means leaving the gun in the vehicle is..... also out.
    Anyone know if there is any off campus parking? And which entry gate should I be looking to park closest to? (less walking for me the better)

    Oh, and I'm thinking that I have to go.
    How often will I ever be able to see the Most Popular President of the United States in person. :):

    My daughter is supposed to fly out of SB airport Thursday afternoon. I drive right by Northside Gym on my way home from work. This visit will cause me great personal inconvenience.:rolleyes:

    But at least it's not President Hillary.:laugh:

    There is a parking lot to the west of the school on the other side of the church there. That is where I plan on parking, if the school lot is full. What time do you plan to get there?

    I don't really care that much about Trump, but getting a chance to see the President and Vice President both is worth going.

    Yea, I see the grass has been freshly mowed out at the Jimmietown Airport aka Mishawaka Pilots Club, so while not being privy to the official itinerary we're expecting Air Force One to fly in there allowing the Prez and V Prez to meet up and be shuttled a few miles south down to Jackie Walorski's house for an afternoon dip in the pool and Jimmietown Pizza after which all will then be whisked off to North Side Gym for a rousing back slapping speech about Braun's and Jackie's upcoming campaigns. The entire affair is expected to be experienced by the few thousand lucky enough to have tickets and suffered thru by many thousands more caught in the traffic and detours.

    AF1 has landed many times at SBN, NP. That won't be an issue. The bigger issue will be the motorcade. That's a drive. I have seen a couple motorcade's go to the LTV plant on 20. Elkhart is a bit farther up the road. That might make landing a bit closer more practical.

    My boy and I scored tickets. What is the general rule on how earlier to show up?

    They will probably bring marine 1 for this trip. Maybe not.

    TT, If they do fly in to SBN I will go over and get some pics of what ever the fly in. I am really close to the airport. I have gotten pics of other trips. You can usually see them from the road.

    SBF, thanks for the info. My boy doesn't get out of school till around 3:30. It going to take 45 minutes to get there on a good day from my house. Hopefully we won't have any issue. We do have tickets so we should be able to get in. I hope. he will be bummed if we don't.

    I've been having migraines so I'm not sure if I will be going but...

    ....if I do, I had a thought. Normally we are allowed to keep our guns in the car in a parking lot of a school. Would this still apply here or would the SS be controlling the lots too?

    only inside the building. That will be the controlled environment with metal detectors
