The Wine and Liquor Wholesalers of America said Tuesday that Sarah Palin will deliver the keynote address at their annual convention, to be held in Las Vegas in April, CNN reports.

"Governor Palin is a great supporter of America's free enterprise system and understands that industries like the beverage alcohol industry play a key role in driving our national economy. We're proud and honored to welcome her as a speaker," the WLWA's CEO said in a statement.

Palin is currently covering the nation earning $100,000 per speech, with the exception of a few charity events for which she has waived the fee, Politico reports. Her high fee has earned ire from some of her fans, who were annoyed with the $550 per ticket price of the Tea Party convention to be held in Nashville in early February.
Palin will give the keynote address at the convention, and a special ticket to see only her costs $350 plus fees.
