š¦ Aug 31 at 7PM - Bernie Sanders - Hancher Auditorium at the University of Iowa
Excerpt:
Prairie Lights will host Sanders again Aug. 31. This time it will be at 7 p.m. at Hancher Auditorium at the University of Iowa.
According to MacMillian Publishers, it is one of four stops Sanders is making on a tour promoting his new book, āBernie Sandersā Guide to Political Revolution.ā
The downtown Iowa City bookstore typically schedules its larger events at the 750-seat Englert Theatre, Weissmiller said. āBut they didnāt think they could handle this.ā
Given Sandersā caucus support in the Iowa City area ā he carried Johnson County 60 percent to 40 percent over Hillary Clinton ā Weissmiller expects the 1,800-seat Hancher to sell out.
Tickets will be available through the Hancher Box Office beginning at 10 a.m. Friday.
Three ticket options are available: a limited quantity of $30 tickets include a signed first-edition copy of the book; $25 tickets include an unsigned copy; and tickets for those 16 years of age and younger are $10 and do not include a copy of the book.
Books will be available for sale at the event.
It will be the second Iowa visit this summer by Sanders, 75, who hasnāt ruled out running for president in 2020 and is regarded as one of the nationās most popular politicians, an in-demand speaker and a prolific fundraiser. He will be participating in Iowa Citizens for Community Improvementās āRevolution Iowa ā From Protest to Powerā in Des Moines on Saturday.
