For a trip down Rock n’ Roll Memphis lane make sure you don’t miss The Elvis Collector Exhibition at this year’s Cooly Rocks On Festival officially kicking off this weekend in the twin towns.
Rusty Roberts has been collecting items of “The King” for around 40 years.
This is a fascinating look at a collection that has been branded as the largest Elvis Presley memorabilia displays in Australia by a private owner.
Rusty has always gone to the extreme to obtain something Elvis.
He takes great pride in putting together an exhibition that will totally surprise and overwhelm even the die-hard Elvis fan and fully astonish others.
This is your chance to see everything imaginable displaying Elvis’ image. The good, the bad, the out of the ordinary and you will need a good few hours to view the collection properly.
“You’ll see photos, newspaper clippings, records, posters, dolls, clothes, advertisements and thousands of Elvis items with non-stop Elvis music throughout the exhibit,” Rusty ‘the Elvis Collector’ said
“You can see this collection up close, no ropes holding you back from the good stuff.
“This is the way to remember Elvis while at the Cooly Rocks On Festival.”
Rusty said Elvis Presley is always one of the biggest draw cards at any Rock n’ Roll festival.
“Elvis Presley’s entertaining life touched billions of people in the world, and the effect it still has on people today is unmatched by any other entertainer before and now,” he said.
“He still causes people to flock by the hundreds to venues just to see someone dressed up as their idol.
“The mystic and magic surrounding Elvis seems never to fade.”
