First Lady Michelle Obama will make a second attempt to visit Central Virginia, with a two stop swing planned for this Thursday. Mrs. Obama will speak at Mary Washington College at 5pm on September 13th.
Specific information on a second stop in Central Virginia has not been released.
The First Lady attempted to hold rallies in both Charlottesville and Fredricksburg on July 20th, but both events were canceled after the Colorado movie theatre shooting tragedy.
Both events will be free and open to the public, but tickets will be required and must be obtained ahead of time. Tickets for the Fredricksburg event will be released starting tomorrow at the local OFA field office.
We will update you when we learn specifics about the second stop.
*** UPDATE: Mrs. Obama will speak at Richmond's Carpenter Center at 2pm.
