Republican presidential hopeful Mitt Romney will visit Atlanta on Wednesday for a pair of events, including his first public appearance in the state since the day before the 2008 GOP primary.

Romney, who finished third in the state's 2008 contest, will campaign from 3:30 p.m. to 5 p.m. at Bottega Stone, an enterprise that specializes in custom counter-tops and tile. It is located at 129 Armour Drive NE in Atlanta. To attend, RSVP to TeamGA@mittromney.com or call (404) 923-0578.

Later, Romney will hold a private fund raiser at the W Hotel Midtown.
