I work for the newspaper in Carrie's hometown so I got to spend the day there (I actually work at the other office in the neighboring town). She received a lot of honors today. In Oklahoma May 13 is Carrie Underwood day, she received a Rising Star award in the Oklahoma Music Hall of Fame, something from her college and several other awards. She was allowed to sing the Star Spangled Banner and that was it. They also announced from Randy her song for next week
Oh and they actually had swat members on the tops of all the buildings. You'd think the president was here or something!
here's a couple of pics. They aren't anything great since I was at the back of the crowd there to take mostly crowd pics. Our reporter is the one who went in on the interviews.
Receiving a letter from a state rep.
Receiving a key to the city from the mayor
Carriage ride in the parade (sorry the orange shirt guy got in the way and you can barely see her)
Finally the dog fan whose jacket says "Yo Carrie!"
