The former U.S. senator from Pennsylvania plans to hold a campaign party at the Best Western hotel in the center of town starting at 8 p.m. Tuesday. The event is open to the public.
Santorum's campaign is billing the event as an election-night celebration, referring to the Illinois balloting, as he and the other three Republican presidential candidates jockey for delegates to the national nominating convention.
On Wednesday, Santorum is scheduled to head back to Louisiana for more campaigning before Saturday's caucuses in that state.
