Today, as perhaps many of you have heard is (what would have been) Elvis's 75th birthday.

Our good friend, Kathy Lorge, from Freedom High School gave us a wonderful Christmas gift...tickets to see Elvis in concert! Ok, an Elvis impersonator, Bobby Rivers-but never the less, a great show it was!

Thanks Kathy for a great night out (despite the bad weather) and Happy Birthday to the KING! :)
