Local Elvis impersonators are invited to star in a one-off promotional photo shoot at the Dish this Saturday.
The photos will be used for year-round promotional material for the CountryLink Parkes Elvis Festival, one of which will hopefully appear on large advertising signs on three approaches into Parkes.
For the opportunity to be part of this exciting project meet at the CSIRO Radio Telescope Visitor Car Park at 3pm wearing your best Elvis suits and bling.
The Elvis Committee would love to see you, including all you Priscillas out there.
‘We're trying to enhance promotional material that tells visitors year round that we are the Elvis Capital of Australia and these signs are a perfect way to let people know all about the Festival and the town's ties to the King,’ Festival Coordinator Ellie Ruffoni said.
‘Signs You See have generously offered to donate the signs and Trudy McMaster has kindly offered to take the photos for us.
‘We are looking for one shot in particular to include Elvis impersonators at the Dish for the signs but will take many more to help us promote the Festival throughout the year.
‘We aim to utilise the talent on the day in all different formations and poses.’
Preparations for the 2009 festival are well underway, with several new additions to the program being added next year.
2009 official souvenir programs will be available from the Visitor Information Centre at the end of October for $5 each.
They detail a full listing of events, maps, information and much more.
