Vice presidential candidate and Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin will tour Pennsylvania this weekend, including a trip to Johnstown on Saturday.

Palin is expected to appear at a private fundraiser in Pittsburgh Friday night, and Saturday night the self-proclaimed hockey mom will drop a ceremonial first puck in Philadelphia as the Flyers open their new season.

Saturday morning, Palin will be at the Johnstown War Memorial arena. The event starts at 10 a.m., and the latest word was that the only tickets that might still be left are unused ones from other counties.

Doors to the war memorial open at 7 a.m. Saturday. Stay with WJAC-TV News and WJACTV.com for continuing coverage.
