Obama to hold town hall in Cannon Falls

President Obama will hold a town hall in Cannon Falls on Monday. President Obama will fly into the Minneapolis St. Paul Airport on Monday morning and will travel to Cannon Falls for the morning event. The town hall will be held at Lower Hannah's Bend Park at 11:45 a.m.

The event will be the first stop on Obama's three-day economic bus tour in the Midwest.

"While in the Midwest, the President will discuss ways to grow the economy, strengthen the middle class and accelerate hiring in communities and towns across the nation and hear directly from Americans, including small business owners, local families, private sector leaders, rural organizations, and government officials," The White House said in a statement. "The President knows we must do everything we can to promote economic growth, restore confidence in our nation's future and enhance the sense of optimism for future generations."

The White House says the event is free and open to the public but tickets are required and can be picked up at the Cannon Falls City Hall beginning at 1 p.m. on Sunday.
