Former Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee will be speaking at Stillwater Christian School’s annual For Such a Time As This dinner on March 19, the school announced Wednesday.
The announcement comes a day after Huckabee, who ran in the Republican presidential primary in 2008, said he was “more than just thinking about” making a second run for his party’s nomination in 2016.
Stillwater’s For Such a Time As This dinner has attracted some noted conservative and Christian speakers in recent years, including Oliver North, former NFL quarterback Tim Tebow, and Dr. Ben Carson, another possible 2016 contender. The event is the school’s primary fundraiser and is held at the Flathead County Fairgrounds. Tickets cost $125.
“For Such a Time As This has become an important event, not just for our school, but for our entire community,” said Head of School Daniel Makowski. “We are pleased to be able to share speakers of national prominence who examine the intersection of faith, politics, and family values within our culture, and who compel us to participate in our culture with the values that Stillwater Christian School represents.”
Huckabee served as governor of Arkansas from 1996 until 2007 when he launched a failed bid for the Republican presidential nomination. Since then he has hosted television and radio shows and written numerous books, including his most recent, “God, Guns, Grits, and Gravy.”
