On June 17 and 18, the red carpet rolled out for Cadillac at the Heart & Soul Awards Weekend at the Renaissance Baltimore Harborplace Hotel. Cadillac was a top sponsor of the weekend, which included the Healthy, Wealthy, Wise and Beautiful Conference & Expo, a special screening of Michael Baisden’s new movie, “Do Women Know What They Want,” and two Awards Ceremonies—A Salute to Women of Substance and the Heart & Soul Awards.

Comedian George Wilborn stands with the 2011 Cadillac CTS-V Sedan, reminiscing about the first Cadillac he owned at age 16.

Wedding planner Linnyette Richardson-Hall from the Style Network show "Whose Wedding Is It Anyway?," takes a spin in the CTS-V Coupe before getting ready for the awards show.

All weekend, a Cadillac Escalade Hybrid shuttled the magazine’s VIP guests, including singers, actors, and actresses to and from the local airport and the conference. With a 2011 Cadillac CTS-V Sedan and a CTS-V Coupe on full display in front of the hotel, Heart & Soul guests and Inner Harbor visitors alike were able to take full advantage of the opportunity to sit inside the V-12 engine sports sedan or take a spin around Baltimore’s Inner Harbor in the Coupe.

“Luxurious and beautiful,” summed up one person’s thoughts after looking at the car while others said, “really roomy and comfortable,” and “I love the design.”  Comedian George Wilborn also checked the Cadillac sedan out, posing for pictures next to the car and sharing stories about his first Cadillac, which he bought at the age of 16.
