LEWISBURG -- While the academy awards are handed out in Hollywood Sunday night, the Oscars will also be celebrated in Union County.

For the ninth year, the Campus Theatre invites members of the Lewisburg community to enjoy refreshments and dress up like stars.

Sunday may be one of Hollywood's biggest nights of the year, but the campus theater in Union County is bringing the party to Lewisburg.

The folks at the Campus Theatre are gearing up for its ninth annual red carpet party.

"This is a great alternative to sitting home alone and watching the Oscars. You're here with a bunch of people. Everybody's dressed up. Everybody's excited," said Jessica Paquin.

It's not every day you see fancy gowns and a red carpet on Market Street in Lewisburg.

"Everybody puts on their best and walks the red carpet. They get interviewed by some celebrity panels. They come up and talk to them for a while and we broadcast that on the big screen," Paquin explained.

"We have the cameras out front to interview the people when they come in and everybody dresses up," said Glenn Wilson. "Last year they had a pajama party which was very fun. It just grows and grows every year."

Glenn Wilson and Barbara Ross look forward to the event every year.

"Almost like being at the Oscars, the red carpet, of course, the food and the drinks," said Ross.

Local businesses donate food, and there is a silent auction. The Oscars are shown on the movie screen.

The Campus Theatre is all about the Academy Awards. Every single film that was nominated for best picture was shown on their big screen.

"I love the movies this year. I can't wait," said Ross.

"The movies are going to be exciting this year because I'm not sure who is going to win," added Wilson.

Tickets are $25 for Campus Theatre members and $30 for non-members.

If you're not in Lewisburg for the red carpet party, you can watch the Oscars on Sunday on ABC and WNEP.  You can vote for your favorite films here.
