Recently I wrote a fun story about some of the famous people that I have met in Great Falls. Some of these stars have been tied to the Montana State Fair and others were random. You can read the story here.

Famous People in Great Falls

As it turns out- I missed a bunch of famous people that have spent a lot of time in our area. I compiled this list from all of the responses on the stations Facebook pages. Have you seen any of these famous people?

Christopher Graham

I helped Chris Ledoux when I worked at Herberger’s. I had been to his concert the night before or I wouldn’t have recognized him. He was very nice.

Carolyn R Brown

I have met several artists as well…Most recently Kip Moore back in 2013, I have met three members of Diamond Rio…Neal McCoy way back in the early ‘90s, Sawyer Brown… actually had coffee with Mark and Hobie, but that was in Missoula at the Hilton, after their show here in Great Falls. Long story…. But memorable.

Becki O'Hara McMickle

Monday night in Cascade! 6 NFL players!! We hung out with Restless Heart and I've met Aaron Tippin a few times.

Cascade is a favorite stop for many stars. Reba McEntire has been there many times. Red Steagall has been in Cascade as well. Becki said these NFL players were in Cascade on a fishing trip.

Tim Tharp

My wife and daughter were standing right behind Trump at his rally, I also got to meet Fluffy

Lori Chouinard

Charlie Pride came into my work years ago asking to look a number up in the phone book. My co-worker was so star struck she just froze. Her much younger co-workers had no idea who he was.

Viki Kuhn Johnson

Sean Connery when he was filming the Untouchables . He stopped at McDonald's for dinner at 10;30 pm on a Sunday night, I was working. I got his autograph and a hug, he was very pleasant to talk with.

Stacey Corcino

Greg Korin

Two Star Trek stars...Scotty at CGF and Spock at the Flamingo...

Bob McNamee

28 years of doing backstage catering, you can’t be starstruck when you do that job but there comes a time when stars show up unexpectedly and that happened when Mel Tillis stopped in and then there were the times Jack Hannah would stop bye and one time Yo-Yo Ma stopped in for lunch at the bakery it was difficult to find some thing smart to say.

Baker Bob is being modest as he has met hundreds of famous people in his travels. That is why we call him the "Caterer to the Stars!"
