DOYLESTOWN, PA — Doylestown's wildest dreams are about to come true.

Actor Efren Ramirez, who stars as the shy, foreign exchange student Pedro in the 2004 indie hit comedy, "Napoleon Dynamite," is bringing his "campaign" for class president to Doylestown this weekend.

In the movie, Pedro runs for class president and wins with the help of his best friend, Napoleon Dynamite (John Heder). And in his campaign speech he says, "Vote for me, and all your wildest dreams will come true."

Ramirez will be attending a screening of the film, "Napoleon Dynamite," on Sunday, Nov. 3 at 4 p.m. at the County Theatre in Doylestown. Tickets to the screening can be purchased here.
