Fall in love with Elvis, all over again
NORTH COUNTRY, N.Y. -- Fans in the North Country 'couldn't help falling in love' with Elvis all over again this weekend. Hundreds of Elvis fans turned out for the sixth annual Elvis Festival in Lake George and Lake Luzerne.

Dozens of Elvis tribute artists from all over North America performed in hopes of qualifying for the ultimate Elvis Tribute artist contest, which is held in Memphis. The festival's director says the tribute artists are no joke.

"The performances that we have really try to embody Elvis, his whole life, his music, his history. It's not a time to show performance. These are professional, talented artists. A Las Vegas style show and I think you'd be really impressed,” said Jason Sherry, LakeGeorge.com Elvis Festival Director.


Not only did tribute artists copy some of the King's moves, they also rocked out in signature Elvis attire.
