Former President Bill Clinton will be coming to Wintersville on Thursday, but before he makes the trip from Cuyahoga Community College in Parma, crews went to work preparing the Indian Creek High School Gymnasium.

Clinton is expected to arrive between 2 and 3 o'clock on Thursday afternoon. People with tickets will be able to get inside the gym at 1:30 to get a good spot.

It promises to be a one-of-a-kind experience but it may not have been if it weren't for some hard work of the crews.

They started working at 3 o'clock on Wednesday afternoon and spent a couple of hours setting up the stage, risers and audio equipment.

Event organizers expect about 1,000 people in attendance.

The visit to the Jefferson County school will be Clinton's first stop in the county since 2008 when he made an appearance at Steubenville High School.

Officials say his speech will last 30 to 40 minutes.

People attending the event are encouraged to park at St. Florian Hall and use the shuttle service to get to and from the event.

Officials are also asking people to carpool.
