"After hosting a preliminary 2007 Ultimate, Arnolde Elvis Tribute Artist Contest, Rickman Auditorium will once again be the site of an Elvis competition in which participants vie for a spot in the semifinals and finals, set for this summer in Memphis. The 2008 Ultimate Elvis Tribute Artist Contest regional at Rickman will take place Saturday, April 12."
This event will be different to last year's though - instead of one long session taking five hours, the 2008 event this one will be an all day event. Last year 22 Elvis impersonators competed at the Arnold regional Contest.Rick Vickers was the winner.
"The day of the contest, they'll get five minutes to perform in the preliminary. Those chosen for the finals will get 10 minutes at the evening session.
Tickets for the preliminary round cost $10, and admission for the night session will be $15. Patrons who buy tickets to both can get a deal at $20 for both sessions. Good value!
"The entry fee for contestants is $100. The winner gets a $1,000 prize and qualifies to compete in the Ultimate Elvis Tribute Artist Contest semifinals against winners from other preliminary competitions.
Tickets are available through Arnold City Hall or Ticketmaster. For ticket or other information, call 636-296-2100 or go visit the city of Arnold Web site at www.arnoldmo.org."

I was interested to read that that this Elvis impersonator world record was broken at the Australian Elvis festival.Parkes breaks Elvis impersonator record | The Australian
Up until now, Canada's Collingwood Elvis Festival had held the record for the most Elvis impersonators singing at once being 78.
But in Parkes, Australia, 147 "men in big black hair, sunglasses and jumpsuits smashed that record when they delivered a simultaneous rendition of Love Me Tender in Parkes yesterday."

Many of these Elvis impersonators caught a train to Parkes in their jumpsuits. What a sight.Thought you might like to read a U.K. report on the event. Here's an excerpt:BBC NEWS | Asia-Pacific | Elvis impersonators hit outback
"There are Elvis lawn bowls and golf challenges, as well as a cheeseburger eating contest, which pays homage to one of the American singer's favourite snacks. There is also an Elvis-themed Gospel church service."
