The Connecticut lieutenant governor's office announced Thursday (Jan. 3) that Giffords will attend a private event at a local home on Friday (Jan. 4). The event will have no media access.
Since retiring from Congress to focus on her recovery, Giffords has begun campaigning for stricter gun control laws, a debate which has come even more to the forefront after last month's attack in Newtown.
It has been three weeks since the deadly shooting. Thursday was the first time the over 400 children from Sandy Hook who escaped without physical harm returned to school, being bussed over to a refurnished unused middle school in nearby Monroe.

North Texas resident Keith White was watching the 80s TV series Fraggle Rock with his daughter last week when his ears perked up. In the middle of a conversation between two Fraggles -- the lovable Jim Henson creations who lived underground -- he thought he heard a character refer to another one as an offensive, out-of-date racial slur. "I heard him say Jigaboo," White told CW 33. "That's what I heard him say." White even rewound the show several times to listen again (hopefully with is daughter out of earshot).
