premierecollectibles.com

Starting this weekend, Republican presidential hopeful Ben Carson is slated to be in Florida as part of a book tour.

According to several national polls, Carson is seen as a GOP front-runner in the 2016 presidential race alongside Billionaire businessman Donald Trump.

But, the famous neurosurgeon has since put his campaign on hold for his book tour.

It’s for book signings for his new book, “A More Perfect Union: What We the People Can Do to Reclaim Our Constitutional Liberties.”

For the first couple days, he’ll have a few Florida Panhandle stops: Pensacola and Panama City on Sunday, and Tallahassee on Monday. Then, throughout that week, he'll be making his way down to South Florida with stops that include Orlando, Tampa, Fort Myers, and Miami. For more information, click here.
