KENANSVILLE, N.C. (WNCN) — A small Eastern North Carolina town is preparing for Donald Trump’s appearance Tuesday just as a Hillary Clinton event in Chapel Hill on Tuesday was postponed.
Trump will hold a rally in Kenansville Tuesday just two weeks after making a stop in Greenville.
The rally will be held at the Duplin County Event Center and it is likely to be the largest event ever held in Kenansville, with a population of about 855.
Duplin County Schools announced on Monday they would be closing at noon Tuesday in anticipation of Trump’s visit. High amounts of traffic are expected in the area, school officials said.
Meanwhile, Clinton campaign officials said Monday afternoon that a Tuesday fundraiser in Chapel Hill was postponed.
The Clinton event was billed as “lunch with Hillary Rodham Clinton” and had four donation levels to attend.
Those contribution levels were described as $100,000, which featured “chair reception with Hillary,” $33,000, which included a “host reception with Hillary,” $5,000, which included “preferred seating” and $2,700.
No reason was given for postponement of the Clinton event, which was planned to take place at the home of Betty Craven and Michael Warner.
For Trump’s event, Between 7,000 and 10,000 people are expected to attend the rally, which could mean heavy traffic for the usually quiet town.
Multiple law enforcement agencies in and around Duplin County are working together to prepare for the event.
Sheriff Blake Wallace said starting around midnight drivers should expect delays on N.C. 11, although no detours are planned.
“Be prepared to wait for an extended period of time,” Wallace said. “Have fluids to hydrate yourself. We’re not allowing any backpacks or large bags in. You cannot bring any sign that has a stick or a metal object. Cardboard signs are allowed but nothing with a stick that could be used as a weapon.”
Pocket knives, handguns and other firearms are also not allowed in the event center. Wallace said there will be a designated area for any protesters as well.
Doors for the event will open at 3 p.m. with Trump scheduled to speak at 5 p.m.
Trump also plans to hold a rally in High Point around noon on Tuesday.
I wouldn’t want to have lunch with her because she might seize up and start leaking fluids on me. And that big black guy with the syringe might accidentally stab me I am not racist
Maybe no one signed up for the CHAPEL HILL event.
Think Trump has NC in his column. Needs to lockdown FL and NH and he wins.
Checking Kenansville pics online. Place looks pretty as a picture.
Do u think any real journalist would ever ask....WHY???
“The Clinton event was billed as “lunch with Hillary Rodham Clinton” and had four donation levels to attend.

They left out the $150,000 level where you get to see Hillary try to stand up from her chair.
10,000 attendees in a town of 885? What is this place, a Philly voting precinct in reverse?
I’m guessing that Hillary has decided to boycott North Carolina because of its bathroom law, like the NCAA.
If Mr. Trump would advertise in Maine, he most likely would win the entire state.
Same number of electoral votes as New Hampshire....4.
A Craven event?
“No reason was given for postponement of the Clinton event, which was planned to take place at the home of Betty Craven and Michael Warner”
How big a home do these people have to charge so many different levels for attendance ?
Is the bottom class being placed in the toilet?
She’s really sick .... Really!
Illness of the week is “tubes in her ears”. (Many years ago!)
I hadn’t thought of that but now that you mention it, it is more than likely the truth. Remember the video that Trump supporter recently posted where he walked into a HRC campaign office that had scheduled a volunteer “door knocking” activity, and no one showed up? I think this may be a similar situation.
They can still send the money. After all, that's what counts, right?
As a resident of a tiny, unincorporated community I have to shudder a little. This town of 855 souls is about to be inundated in 10,000 (at least) fired-up Trump supporters. I hope the campaign has seen to a little extra help for the poor guys who are going to have to direct traffic and parking. This will be the wildest event that place will ever experience short of an asteroid strike.
On a broader front, this is extremely interesting, because he's campaigning and she's mailing it in, and North Carolina's very much in play. The champagne corks in Chapel Hill will remain in the bottle. Every store in Kenansville is going to be flat out of beer, though. I'll be pulling for them.
It is my guess that Illary is sick again. She is not only a criminal and a liar. She is in failing health. She has cancelled everything to rest up for the debate in which she is doomed to utter failure. Lester will sand bag Trump but Trump will put that bag over lester’s head. Trump at some point will simply ask Hillary directly—” Why did you lie to the parents of Bengahzi when you told Chelsey the truth?” Or “Why did you lie about having 1 device and you had the 13 Iphones and Blackberrys you had illegally receiving state secrets and had destroyed with a hammer?” How did you become worth $150,000,000 after being broke when you left the Oral Orifice? What a blood bath. I’m still convinced she will claim “relapse” and beg for sympathy. Also she may have a seizure or another fit.
Think Military Bases...
It will be packed.
