Celebrities!
Celebrities from Albert Lea walked the red carpet July 23 at the start of the second week of the sold-out performance of “Annie, the Musical” and displayed their finest evening-on-the-town looks.
Albert Lea Magazine was there in front of the Marion Ross Performing Arts Center in downtown Albert Lea to capture the local darlings as they exited a luxurious automobile chauffeured by Dawson Limousine Service. A crowd formed to get a look at their favorite stars. Some of those stars are actors. Some are philanthropists. Some simply are famous for being famous.
Get your fix of red carpet fashion and fame — with a local flair.
