Tupelo wants a bit of the Elvis Action
When you think of Elvis Presley, you think of Memphis, for obvious reasons. But Elvis was born in Tupelo, which is why the city hosts an annual celebration of the King. Events on June 5, 6 and 7 of 2009 include an Elvis parade, tour of Presley's birthplace, and - Lord have mercy - an Elvis look-alike pet parade with lots of little dogs wearing white, jewel-studded jumpsuits. Golfers can also take part in a "Fling with the King" tournament. Another eyecatcher is the Tupelo Automobile Museum, home to Elvis’s 1976 Lincoln Mark IV that was given as a gift by Elvis Presley. Elvis often played shows in Denver, Colorado where he formed a close relationship with Jerry Kennedy, captain of the Denver Police Vice and Drug Control Bureau. Captain Kennedy was in charge of security for Elvis when he appeared in Denver. On January 14, 1976 Elvis visited the Kumpf Lincoln Mercury Dealership at 9th Avenue and Broadway in Denver. There he purchased a 1976 Lincoln Mark IV for $13,386.69. The check to the the dealership, by Elvis himself, can be seen in the museum. Elvis gave the brand new car to Captain Jerry Kennedy as a gift. On top of that, a unique collection of all 33 movie posters from the Elvis movies on display at the Tupelo Automobile Museum. http://www.tupeloelvisfestival.com/ |
