Here it is, time again for the big Chingawassa Days festival in Marion, Kansas. This year's highlights include an "Elvis Tribute" contest tonight (Friday), sanctioned by Elvis Presely Enterprizes. It is touted as a national contest that is being held to find the best Elvis impersonator (ok, they don't want us to use that term, so we say tribute artist). We have contestants coming from several states to gyrate their hips and do their best impersonation of the "King". The winner gets to go to Graceland and perform in the finals. Could be interesting.On Saturday, the park will be filled with activities from early morning all the way thru the night. The evening's festivities will be highlighted by the performance by the highly sought after country band "Trick Pony". We expect to see upwards of 3,000 in the park for their concert.
Oh yeah, one of the otehr highlights is the 30 minute program that the "Aulne Quartet" gets to do. We can't forget them!! :)
This festival is probably the biggest event of the year for our little town. Come and check us out.!!!
