Elvis Fever

"Well, it's one for the money, Two for the show, Three to get ready, Now go, cat, go."
In the second week of January, the town of Parkes came alive to the sounds of hip-swivelling Elvis Impersonators and Tribute Artists in the annual Parkes Elvis festival.
Our Parkes branch was overcome by Elvis fever and enjoyed the atmosphere of the festival.
