Have an interest in seeing President Barack Obama during his visit to Cannon Falls on Monday?

According to the White House, Obama’s town hall meeting at Lower Hannah’s Bend Park is free and open to the public. Tickets, however, are required and will be available at the Cannon Falls City Hall beginning at 1 p.m. Sunday.

The Cannon Falls City Hall is at 918 River Road, Cannon Falls. The mileage, according to Google Maps, from downtown Albert Lea is 83 miles, with a drive time of about 90 minutes.

Tickets will be limited to two per person and will be distributed on a first-come, first-served basis.

For security reasons, on the day of the event people are advised not to bring bags and limit personal items. No signs or banners permitted. All attendees will go through airport-like security.

Because of limited space at the event, the White House will only be able to fulfill a limited number of requests for tickets. Tickets are not for sale or re-sale.

The program begins at 11:45 a.m. Monday.

Lower Hannah’s Bend Park is on North Ninth Street in Cannon Falls.

The town hall meeting will be a part of the president’s three-day economic bus tour in the Midwest.

His time in Cannon Falls on Monday will be followed by a second question-and-answer session at Seed Savers in Decorah, Iowa. He will stay at the Hotel Winneshiek in Decorah that night.

On Tuesday, Obama will hold a rural economic forum in Peosta, Iowa.

Obama will preside at town hall-style events on Wednesday in the Illinois towns of Atkinson and Alpha, before returning to the White House.

On Thursday, he plans to join his wife, Michelle, and daughters Malia and Sasha, on their annual vacation in Martha’s Vineyard, Mass.

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. He will also hear directly from citizens, including small business owners, local families, private sector leaders, rural organizations and government officials.
