Yes, Park Ridge, Hillary Clinton Will be in Town on Thursday (UPDATED)
But don't expect to see the Democratic presidential candidate unless you're attending one of her closed-door fundraisers.
UPDATED (10:30 a.m. Thursday, May 19)
A presidential candidate can never have too much money.
And while Hillary Clinton might have the Democratic nomination just about locked up, she still needs to finance a campaign run against presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump.

Clout Street's Rick Pearson reports in the Chicago Tribune that Clinton will be in Park Ridge on Thursday for a noon closed-door fundraiser held by childhood friend Betsy Ebeling. Tickets run from $45 to $27,000.

According to the Park Ridge Herald Advocate, two occupants of the Pickwick building will provide the backdrops for Clinton's fundraiser: the Pickwick Theater, where the candidate will give a speech to more than 900 donors, and The Pick restaurant, which will be the site of a post-speech lunch.
After that, the former senator and secretary of state heads to Chicago for a 2 p.m. Democratic donor event that includes John Rogers, Marty Nesbit and Desiree Rogers as its hosts. Tickets for this fundraiser go for between $1,000 to $27,000.
Can't score a ticket to either of these events but still wouldn't mind some face time with Hillary? Maybe you'll luck out like Abbi and Ilana did in an episode of Broad City, and Clinton will make a surprise appearance at one of her campaign offices.
