— SOUTH BEND, Ind. (AP) — Bill Clinton is heading back to Indiana to speak at the annual Dyngus Day event next week in South Bend.
St. Joseph County Democratic Chairman Butch Morgan says the former president has confirmed he will attend on Monday, although a specific time hasn’t been set.
The annual political event is held at the West Side Democratic Club. Dyngus Day is a Polish holiday that celebrates the end of Lent, but in South Bend it’s more of a political holiday where residents can meet and talk to elected leaders.
The former president was in Indiana on Tuesday, speaking at Lawrenceburg, Richmond and Fort Wayne for Hillary Rodham Clinton’s presidential bid.
