I think the only red carpet events we have are charity events.
Agreed. And those are fewer and far between; I think a huge charity dinner looks a little lavish in this economy, though they still happen. But, yeah, speakers or special guests at charity events are where you'll most likely find celebrities here.

There's a guy in Kings Mountain who's authored several books on the Civil War, which, I guess, makes him a celebrity in some circles. He teaches out in Shelby at the community college. That's pretty annonymous & blending in, if you ask me.
As for events with an actual step and repeat, they are not often done-it's a little pretentious as we really don't have the type of paparazzi coverage necessitated by such events. I literally laughed outloud when I recently got a Young Affiliates of the Mint save the date stating they would have a step/repeat for their galsa in Novemvber...it's just very try-hard.
I was just wondering what kind of Red Carpet events does Charlotte host. It is fun to go to these and try to get autographs. And where are they usually at?? Havent heard too much about any big events where a lot of celebrities are at. Are their never any galas? Or Fundraisers where all types of celebrities come out?? Any Movie premieres? Any swanky restaurant openings? Just wondering, been to several in Atlanta and got tons of pics w/ celebs...would be fun to take my sister to one here because she is into that.
Boris Kodjoe and Ruby Dee had a premire for their movie All About Us ... Link: "All About Us"

Why can't I ever just ask a question without everyone jumping on me. Like I said....my 15 year old sister is into that kind of stuff...so I want to take her to something along those lines..... And I haven't been in Charlotte 6 months...barely 3 months. And if someone wants to hang out with celebs, what's wrong with that?? And for the person that said there are plenty of regular people in Charlotte...no thanks.
Thanks to the people that posted relative information for me really appreciated!!
