RICHLAND, Wash. (AP) - Sarah Palin will reportedly spend Thanksgiving Day in Richland at the home of her aunt Katie Johnson.
KEPR-TV reports that relatives said that Palin would attend a mini-family reunion for about 50 family members.
During her appearance on Oprah, Palin said there was an open invitation to Levi Johnston - the father of her grandchild - to Thanksgiving at Aunt Katie's house.
Johnson is Palin's mother's sister.
The Tri-City Herald reports Palin's grandparents, Clem and Helen Sheeran, came to Richland in 1943 so he could work at the Hanford nuclear reservation.
