Elvis Is Coming To University Place on July 12

"Uh, thanguh very much."

That's right folks. Elvis Presley, the King himself, is coming to University Place on July 12.

Well, maybe the legend himself won't be appearing inour 'burb, but one his best impersonators around will be at the Concert in the Park at , sponsored by Columbia Bank.

Danny Vernon, a local impersonator of Elvis Presley, will be bringing his talents to University Place. Here's the "Love Me Tender" lowdown from the city:

Danny is known for his high energy shows that focus on connecting with his audience. He enjoys performing all three decades of Elvis’ career. This includes the “recklessly abandoned” hillbilly cat of the ‘50’s, the sleek 60’s movie years including the “68 Comeback Special”, and the sexy 70’s jumpsuit era. His red- headed wife, Marcia “Ann-Margret,” performs alongside him adding a unique and enjoyable chemistry to the show.

While winning many awards over the last 10 years, one of his favorite achievements was being voted “Best Young Elvis” by Elvis’ own friends and stage entourage in Palm Springs, CA. With the voice, look and passion of the twentieth century icon, Danny Vernon strives to re-capture Elvis Presley’s appeal of an ever-growing audience.

The event runs from 6:30 p.m. to 8 p.m. So come out and dance in your blue suede shoes.

And with that, ladies and gentlemen, the king, er, the editor, has left the building.
