The two legends nailing this photo on top of Rudy

The two legends nailing this photo on top of Rudy Kistler’s @rudykistler masterpiece, are Sharon and Ross. Sharon has been to three Parkes Elvis Festivals over the last six years and this was Ross’s first festival. When asked their favourite part of the festival Sharon couldn’t narrow it down!
Instead rattled off, dancing at the League’s Club to all the fabulous music, all the gorgeous people, the Parade, the Gospel Service. “All the local people and shops done up in their Elvis best. And the Rick Charles Hogg!” And she also said that to cover off on anything she had missed Ross said he loved ‘All of it!” *Did you nail a pose here too?! Make sure you share it with us!! #parkeselvis

Taking a break from the clean up and reporting and reliving some of our favourite bits of this year’s festival. The Sydney Swing Katz had us jaw dropping and wanting to be born in another era!
Did you spot them across the festival? Just awesome! Do yourself a favour and watch them again! How do they do that!?!?! So cool!
Big thanks too, to our sponsor K&H Geotechnical Services Parkes for sponsoring these hip swinging beauties all the way to our 2020 festival! #ParkesElvis @sydneyswingkatz

So we know we have the worlds best fans at Parkes Elvis Festival, but honestly the performers we attract and are lucky enough to have are just as incredible! Thank you @seanlukespiteri you’re an awesome human 😎🕺🏻And congratulations on your contribution!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Posted RP• @seanlukespiteri The other day I announced that I would be donating my Red Burning Love Elvis Jumpsuit from B&K Enterprises to the Red Cross Disaster Relief and Recovery Campaign. I decided that I wanted the highest monetary donation raised from this jumpsuit to go directly to those affected by the bush fires in Australia at this present time. As I said at my shows, no amount of money can ever replace or recover the damage that has been done in our country, but I know that every little bit can help.
I consider myself very fortunate to have been able to attend and perform at the @parkeselvisfestival and this was just my small contribution to helping all those who have suffered over these last few months.
Thank you to all those who placed a bid on the jumpsuit but I am honoured to announce that Maria Swift dug deep and has a heart of gold. She has very generously donated $1000 for this jumpsuit at my show at the 2020 Parkes Elvis Festival.
Maria, I have proudly put through your generous donation of $1000 this morning on your behalf and I sincerely thank you for this. If it wasn't for kind hearted people like yourself, our country and our people would not be the same.
Please look after my Red Burning Love Jumpsuit. It has traveled the world with me! I hope it brings you great joy and I look forward to seeing it displayed in your home 🙏❤️#bushfiresaustralia #donation #kindness #everylittlebithelps #thankyou

🎸🎶Faces of the Festival 🎶🎸 These four

🎸🎶Faces of the Festival 🎶🎸 These four sisters (by choice 👯‍♀️👯‍♀️ 😉) hail from the VIC Capital, Melbourne.
They formed their friendship through rock n roll classes and have all loved Elvis since they were mini Elvii.
Danielle from Pakenham, marked 2020 as her 4th Parkes Elvis Festival.
Maree from Tyabb, enjoyed her 2nd Festival while Angie from Officer and Sharon from Beaconsfield, celebrated their 1st.
Angie said, “We all had a blast and became minor celebrities with lots of people wanting to take photos of our matching outfits!” The awesome foursome packed in as many shows as they could and said a highlight was seeing Dean Z. “That was our first time seeing Dean Z, we were all so wowed by his performance!” The group said they also loved the free entertainment in the park and Damian Mullin’s witty antics.
They have already locked in 2021 and started their outfit planning! Their hot tip is dress to impress, the Parkes Elvis Festival is a creative’s wardrobes heaven 👗🕺🏻👌🏻 #ParkesElvis
