And The Beat Goes On The 2007 Collingwood Elvis Festival continues to grow, attracting thousands and thousands of visitors from throughout Ontario, Canada, the United States and beyond. The 2007 Festival began with the new "Spend An Evening with Elvis" event at the Gayety Theatre in Downtown Collingwood on Thursday July 26th. This show set the stage for a record breaking weekend of music, performances, food, children's entertainment and family fun. Friday night's "Awesome Street Party and Tribute Artist Showcase" saw a record number of Elvis Tribute Artists perform on the main street stage. The performances began shortly after 1pm on Friday and the music didn't stop until Friday turned into Saturday. Early Saturday morning, thousands of people lined Collingwood's main street to witness the Tribute Artist Classic Car Parade. Returning Champion Robin Kelly from Edmonton Alberta said that no other festival, anywhere, can compare to the Collingwood Elvis Festival. Kelly said visiting Collingwood is like attending a family reunion, as he has made so many good friends here over the years. Australian Past Champion Dean Vegas was back as well. He also says the Collingwood Festival is the best in the world. 2007 Champion - Jay Zanier The 2007 Collingwood Elvis Festival Champion is Jay Zanier from Guelph. Zanier has been singing the music of Elvis for 15 years and now will receive $3,000.00 and will represent the Collingwood Elvis Festival at the Ultimate Elvis Tribute Artist Competition in Memphis in August. |
