Great news!

The Collingwood Elvis Festival continues to go from strentgh to strength! Every year, Collingwood attracts all of the big name and World Champion ETAs such as Bill Cherry and Shawn Klush as well as a large number of guest speakers who knew the King.

Great to hear that Collingwood has secured this funding- very positive news and it bodes well for the future of other Elvis Fests and also for the continued rise and rise of the popularity of all the wonderful Elvis Tribute Artists!

A huge number of ETAs flock to Collingwood and last year's set from Bill Cherry was probably his greatest ever:
