COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) -- South Carolina Gov.-elect Nikki Haley has outlined plans for her inauguration celebrations.

Haley said Tuesday she'll have a pre-inauguration family fun night on Jan. 11 at the State Fair Grounds that will cost $20 for adults.

The inauguration is Jan. 12 and will be followed by an open house at the Governor's Mansion and a $250 a ticket inauguration night gala at the Colonial Life Arena.

Haley's inauguration is being run by a private foundation led by former state Republican Party Chairman Katon Dawson and his wife, Candy, and Kenyon and Cathy Wells.

Spokesman Rob Godfrey says there are no plans now for an event with first gentleman Michael Haley with former first ladies.

Outgoing Gov. Mark Sanford had big inaugural barbecues in 2003 and 2007.
