Ashley Argota plucks the guitar strings as she attends the Puss In Boots premiere held at Regency Village Theatre on Sunday afternoon (October 23) in Westwood, Calif.

The 18-year-old actress flew from NYC, where she’s in nursing school, to spend the weekend with her friends and family.

“Took a late flight from NYC last night to come and support and surprise friends at an event :)” Ash tweeted.

Ashley stopped by the 2011 Power of Youth event, plus Camp Ronald McDonald For Good Times Halloween Carnival.
