Republican Presidential challenger Mitt Romey will hold a public rally Friday at Valley Forge Military Academy and College.

Writer Thomas Fitzgerald at Philly.com that the event is scheduled to begin at 11:30 a.m. with the doors opening at 9:30 a.m.

According to a school spokesperson, Romney is renting its Mellon Hall.

According to Fitzgerald, "the Southeastern Pennsylvania swing will be Romney's first visit to the state since mid July ... [his] return comes amid speculation that Pennsylvania has fallen off his campaign's target list as a top-tier battleground state."

Although President Barack Obama has a lead over Romney in donations in the Greater Philadelphia area (including parts of New Jersey), the challenger's campaign has earned $124,556 while Obama stands at $107,719 from 19087.
