Hallmark Star Lacey Chabert To Appear At Free Fan Event In Union County

CLARK, NJ — Fans of Hallmark movies will have a chance to meet Lacey Chabert later this month at Norman's Hallmark Shop on Raritan Road.

The free public event is scheduled for Monday, July 27, from 12 to 2 p.m. at the store at 1255 Raritan Rd., Unit 180, in Clark.

Chabert will visit the shop for a fan meet-and-greet tied to Hallmark's upcoming limited romance series Paris Is Always a Good Idea.

Meet-and-greets will be available on a first-come, first-served basis, and no tickets or RSVPs are required.

The first 50 people in line will receive a free year of Hallmark+, described in the announcement as Hallmark's premium subscription streaming service and membership program.

The event is being promoted as a chance for local fans to shop, connect and meet Chabert in person in their own community.

The visit comes just before the debut of Paris Is Always a Good Idea on Hallmark+.

According to the show's description, Chabert plays career-driven nonprofit executive Chelsea Martin, who travels to Paris with her rival-turned-ally Jason Knightly, played by Michael Scott Foster, to secure a major donation.

The show's summary says a message from Chelsea's late mother, along with encouragement from her sister Annabelle, sends her on a journey to reconnect with three past loves.

That trip takes her from Ireland to Paris and Spain as she looks back on earlier chapters of her life.

Hallmark+ is set to premiere the series on Thursday, July 30, with the first two episodes. A new episode will follow each Thursday through Aug. 27.
