Fresh off a win in West Virginia, U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders will spend the weekend in Kentucky ahead of Tuesday's presidential primary.

Sanders, who is trying to catch Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton in the delegate count prior to the Democratic National Convention in July, will hold rallies in Western Kentucky over the two days.

He'll visit Bowling Green on Saturday at the Historic Railpark and Train Museum. Doors to the event will open at 5 p.m.

On Sunday, Sanders will be in Paducah for a rally at the Julian Carroll Convention Center. Doors to that event will open at 11 a.m.

Both events are free and open to the public, but the campaign recommends those wishing to attend register in advance.

Registration for the Bowling Green event and the Paducah event can be done online.
