Remember the Ferndale boy who got the celebrity treatment last month at Bellingham stores as part of his Make-A-Wish dream?

A video just posted on YouTube captures the special day for Kielan Lynch, a 13-year-old Vista Middle School student who was diagnosed with liver cancer last spring.

Kielan wished for a red carpet and got it - literally - and a lot more.
