CHICO — Presidential candidate Bernie Sanders is coming to Chico Thursday for a town hall event at the Chico Family Masonic Center.

The event is free, but the Sanders campaign is recommending to those who want to attend RSVP on the website, berniesanders.com.

The Masonic Center is at 1110 W. East Ave. Doors will open at 10:30 a.m. and the event starts at noon. Entrance is first come, first served, and the venue’s website says it can accommodate 750.

Red Bluff’s Bob Halpin, a member of the Tehama County Democratic Central Committee, is planning to attend the event.

“I support and donate to his campaign,” Haplin said. “I think he is the best candidate that we have to beat Trump so I am going to be there to show my support.”

Sanders was last in Chico during the 2016 Presidential Campaign. Nearly 6,000 people attended the rally at California State University, Chico on June 3, 2016.
