As a member of my high school marching band, I marched in several parades including the Fireman's and Grand Feature Parades at the Shenandoah Apple Blossom Festival in Winchester VA. They always had celebrities in attendance and in 1975, I was able to obtain the autographs of Colonel Sanders (who was sitting in a hotel lobby surrounded by beauty queens when I approached him for his autograph) and Randy White. They were the first celebrities I ever met.
I found out when I am in San Diego there will be a celebrity in attendance at that event. I received the itinerary for the event on the 13th and posted it below. You will see who the celebrity is.
4:30-5:30 pm Dress Rehearsal (all parties dressed for event—cocktail attire, suits, pretty much anything but jeans!)

I always loved her. I can't remember the name of the show she was on, but it was centered around waitresses who all worked at the same fine dining restaraunt. She was the sarcastic wisecracker.
