Palin to make stops in Central Florida

Sarah Palin will bring her book-signing tour to both The Villages and Orlando on Tuesday after spending Monday at Fort Bragg, North Carolina. The former Alaska governor began a nationwide tour last week to promote a new memoir, "Going Rogue." She also has a planned visit to Fort Hood, Texas, on Dec. 4 -- just a month after 12 people were killed there in a shooting rampage.

Hundreds of Palin supporters arrived early at Fort Bragg, and  one woman spent nearly 24 hours in line. Officials estimated that some 4,000 turned out. More than 500 had to be turned away as the three-hour signing ended. While the supporters were primarily civilians, dozens of uniformed personnel also greeted Palin. They craned to snap photos and shook her hand as she left.

Palin will be signing books at Barnes & Noble at Lake Sumter Landing, on Tuesday beginning at 2:30 p.m. "We are expecting a very large crowd for this booksigning, said Cheyenne Coon," manager at the Barnes & Noble at Lake Sumter Landing.

Coon added that strict guidelines will be observed, including:

• Wristbands will be handed out on a first-come, first-served basis, beginning at 7 a.m.
• You must be present in order to get a wristband.
• Barnes & Noble or Barnes andNoble.com receipt for "Going Rogue" must be presented to get a wristband.
• Maximum of two copies per person will be signed.
• A parent or guardian must accompany all minors.
• No posed photos.
• No personalization of books.
• No large bags will be allowed through the signing line.
• No cell phones and cameras.

Palin will also be signing books in Orlando at Barnes & Noble at Colonial Plaza Market Center, 2418 E Colonial Drive, beginning at 7:30 p.m.

No other books or memorabilia will be signed at the Orlando event and a limited number of wristbands will be distributed on a first-come, first-served basis at the store beginning at 9:00 a.m.
