Former President Bill Clinton will be in Kalispell tonight campaigning for his wife, Sen. Hillary Clinton, in her bid for the Democratic presidential nomination.

Bill Clinton is scheduled to be at Flathead Valley Community College at 7:30 p.m. at the Arboretum east of Blake Hall.

The venue is outdoors and the event is open to the public, with limited seating available for people with special needs.

The college suggests that those who attend arrive early, and they are encouraged to bring their own seating.

Clinton's Kalispell stop, dubbed a "Solutions for America" event, was announced on Monday morning.

The campaign trip will be Bill Clinton's third visit to Montana this year.

Over the weekend, he was in Billings wooing Democrats at an annual Yellowstone County dinner.

Last month, he stumped in Havre, Great Falls, Helena and Butte.

Both Sens. Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama continue to fight it out in Montana, home of the nation's last primary on June 3. Both have opened Montana campaign offices and Obama has begun airing TV and radio ads in the state.

At stake in the state's primary are 16 delegates to the Democratic national convention.
