Close to 700 people attend Elvis tribute concert in support of Library![]() By Zachary Roman An amazing turnout to a fundraising concert has the Caledon Public Library (CPL) saying “thank you, thank you very much.” On June 2, the CPL held an Elvis Presley tribute concert at the Albion Bolton Fairgrounds. Two different Elvis impersonators performed at the concert: Bruno Nesci and Eric Evangelista. The weather was great and close to 700 people came out to see the show. The Friends of the Caledon Public Library held a 50/50 draw at the show and $1,900 in tickets were sold. Meanwhile, the Caledon Seniors Centre and CPL sold concessions to raise money for their respective organizations. The tribute concert was made possible thanks to Dreamers Entertainment and the Stage Academy Theatre Association. Ticket sales and proceeds from the concert are going towards the CPL's new memory station, which it's hoping to launch at its Albion Bolton branch this summer. The station will allow CPL users to convert old home movies, vinyl and audio cassette recordings, printed photographs, and slides into a digital format that can be shared online or saved to a USB key or hard drive. “Preserving your priceless memories, archiving, and sharing them can be a powerful way to connect with friends and family. We want to make the process easy,” said Colleen Lipp, CEO of the CPL. “We appreciate Dreamers Entertainment and Stage Academy Theatre Association for granting us this opportunity to fundraise in conjunction with their amazing Elvis Tribute concert. To all of those who enjoyed this fun evening out and supported CPL — as Elvis would say — ‘thank you, thank you very much'.” |
