The Reno Gazette Journal is reporting that presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama will appear in Reno on Sunday.

Obama, the junior U.S. senator from Illinois, is scheduled to appear at a town hall meeting in front of a few hundred area residents with tickets to the event.

The appearance is Obama's first to northern Nevada since U.S. Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-N.Y.) conceded the nomination, the paper reports. Clinton appeared last weekend in Henderson on Obama's behalf.

A recent poll shows Obama trailing presumptive Republican nominee, U.S. Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) by a small margin in the Silver State.

On Thursday, U.S. Sen. Harry Reid (D-Searchlight) and U.S. Rep. Shelley Berkley (D-Las Vegas) helped open Obama's Nevada campaign headquarters.

In a statement released by the Obama campaign, Reid said McCain was "wrong on the Iraq War, wrong on the economy, wrong on Yucca Mountain, and wrong on sports betting."

Reid is also scheduled to appear at Obama's Douglas County campaign kick-off on Saturday in Minden.
