The eight-year-old dancer was there with Children's Wish as the organization's "Wish Child Correspondent."Josie's dad Raymond said shehas cystic fibrosisand herwish is to one day go on a Disney Cruise.

As part of her involvement withChildren's Wish, she got to go to the red carpet andinterviewartists and individuals includingThe East Pointers, Jonathan Torrens, Jimmy Rankin, Rachel Beck, Classified, premier-designate Dennis King and many more.

"There was people stopping all the time. Itwas quite easy to get people to come on in and talk to her," saidRaymond.

"We thought we'd have to flag a whole bunch of people down but at one point there was a line up of two or three people or groups that were ready to come in and talk to her."

And she put some of them on the spot to bust a move.

"It was awesome," Josie said. There was more than dancingtoo, as Josiehad some unexpectedquestions forthe guests.

"I asked if they sing in the showerif they have any hidden talents," she said.

A day later and she's still buzzing from the spotlight, and said the whole experience was simply "fun" and exciting especially getting to show off her dance skills.

JenGillis with the Children's Wish chapter in Charlottetown said "we invited Josie to be the Wish Child Correspondent on the red carpet because we thought with her background in performance, step dancing and her bubbly personality, she'd make a wonderful choice.

"She took the job very seriously. She was meticulous in customizing the questions to the people she was interviewing."
