Organizers estimate around a thousand people will come out to Glendale High School to hear Senator Barack Obama talk about jobs and the economy.
Nelson Parnell of Springfield is a retired United Church of Christ minister and he met with reporters at Obama's headquarters in downtown Springfield to announce details of Obama's visit.
Parnell says he's pleased Obama's coming to an area that's traditionally viewed as a conservative stronghold.
The chair of Greene County Republican Committee says she and other Republicans aren't concerned about Obama's visit and are focused on their own candidates.
Tina Hervey is the spokeswoman for the Missouri Republican Party. She says Obama does not appeal to moderate Republicans.
