Charlottetown and Souris Christmas Parades 

This year we would like to enter the Charlottetown and Souris Christmas parades.  I am currently looking for information or whereabouts we could find a flat bed truck of trailer being hauled by a truck.  We have the materials to construct the float, so if you know of anyone one able to donate a truck, please contact Wade Czank at 651-2351 or email events@epapei.com.

 Gone but Not Forgotten

During a career that lasted just over twenty years, Elvis the Pelvis made 31 movies and released close to one hundred albums. But the Elvis empire really took off after his death, spawning Graceland, the largest and wealthiest celebrity theme park ever known.

 

Every year, 600,000 people make the pilgrimage to Graceland to walk where Elvis walked, to take a peek at his bedroom and the infamous bathroom where he departed this earth.

 

In Memphis, Elvis is the main employer. There is the 128-room Heartbreak Hotel offering an authentic Elvis experience at $100 to $400 per night. There's an Elvis Restaurant that serves all of the King's favourite meals, including deep fried banana and peanut butter sandwiches.

 

Elvis Presley Enterprises is the corporate body that manages his estate and markets the image of Elvis. It is presided over by his daughter, and former wife of Michael Jackson (the other king of American excess), Lisa Marie Presley. The name Elvis and all representations of Elvis are owned by EPE.

 

The image of Elvis has appeared in comic books, novels, television commercials and postage stamps. Several major Hollywood flicks have featured Elvis and Elvis impersonation as central themes, including the recent '3000Miles to Graceland', which featured big-time actors like Kevin Costner and Kurt Russell as well as 'Graceland' starring Harvey Keitel.
