CEDAR CITY — Iron County Republicans now have not one but two former U.S. presidential candidates lined up to appear at their party’s annual Lincoln Day fundraising dinner.

Ron Paul and Mitt Romney, who vied against each other for the GOP nomination to run against Pres. Barack Obama in 2012, are both scheduled to appear at the Cedar City event Thursday at 6:30 p.m. at the Great Hall in the Hunter Conference Center on the Southern Utah University campus.

Paul is the event’s keynote speaker, while Romney will be attending as one of a number of political candidates seeking a spot on Utah’s GOP primary election ballot in June. Iron County GOP officials confirmed Tuesday that Romney plans to be in attendance.

Tickets to the event are nearly sold out, but a few seats remain as of late Tuesday afternoon, organizers said. Seats may be reserved by calling Iron County GOP secretary Brad Green at 801-980-1776 or by emailing bradgreen@infowest.com. Tickets are $100 per plate or $1,000 per table.

“Only those with seats reserved will be able to see the speakers, as (the speeches) will happen during the dinner,” Green said, adding that members of the public are also welcome to attend a free “meet the candidates” event starting at 5 p.m., prior to the start of the dinner.
