We spent the past weekend with friends Bob and Ann in West Kelowna. Something we've talked about for four years, this year we finally did it! We attended the Penticton Elvis Festival. This was the 17th Annual (three day) event with 30 contestants competing for the title and the priviledge of representing Penticton at the Ultimate Elvis competition in Memphis later this year. 

(Enjoying the music and the weather.)

We spent Friday and Saturday afternoons at the park basking in the songs and sunshine. For the most part the Elvis contestants were good. A few were really good and a few were really bad!! 

A group shot of all 30 contestants.

Steven Sogura, Seattle-area ETA (Elvis Tribute Artist) was named the top professional.

The Elvis Fest was not the only event happening in Penticton last weekend. They had their Classic Car Show as well. More than 850 cars of all shapes, new and old, from across the continent were in the city for the biggest car show in Western Canada. 

Here we are enjoying a little drink on Ann and Bob's deck on Saturday when we got back to their house.
