Famous musicians, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Danny DeVito, Captain Jack Sparrow and members of the nobility.

Callaway County residents will have the opportunity to rub elbows with them all at the Callaway County United Way's 2013 Celebrity Banquet on April 13.

Callaway United Way Director Kathy Richey Liddle said the annual fundraiser is always popular because of the fun sponsors and local "celebrity" waiters have with preparing their themed tables.

"It's just a fun event with everyone laughing and enjoying themselves," she said.

Tables already signed up for this year have themes ranging from the movie Twins and a musical table featuring the blues to favorite television programs such as Duck Dynasty and a Westminster tribute to Downton Abbey, and Liddle said they always are happy to welcome more.

"If you want to sponsor a table or be a waiter we would be more than happy to get you signed up," she said.
