From Sean Cockerham in Anchorage –

Sarah Palin will have her final book signing of the year Tuesday in Wasilla.

“The event is open to the public. Alaskans are invited to bring their copies of Going Rogue to be signed by Governor Palin. She looks forward to seeing her fellow Alaskans at this event!,“ said a notice from Palin’s HarperCollins publicist, Tina Andreadis.

There's no word of an Anchorage signing, which Palin had previously indicated could be Tuesday as well. The former governor had written on Twitter: “Sounds like the Alaska book signing events 4 general public will be Dec 22, hopefully in both Anchorage&1 other location. Bundle up&join us!”

HarperCollins and Palin didn't explain what happened to the Anchorage event.

Palin tweeted today that “AK book signing is Dec22, 11-2@local Sports Arena...very excited about this bc we'll get 2see old&new friends&share holiday cheer@same time!”

It’s from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the turf court of the Curtis C. Menard Memorial Sports Center, formerly known as the Wasilla Multi-Use Sports Complex. Palin has a long history with the sports complex.
