Minn. GOP to hold rally featuring Palin, Bachmann

Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin and U.S. Rep. Michele Bachmann will headline a rally in Minneapolis on April 7.

The Republican Party of Minnesota says it will host the free public rally at the Minneapolis Convention Center.

Palin is coming to help Bachmann raise money at a private event the same day. Bachmann is running for a third term in central Minnesota's 6th Congressional District, with two Democrats vying to take her on.

Palin, the 2008 Republican nominee for vice president, last visited Minnesota in December.

The GOP says it will announce ticket information for the rally shortly.
