Florida's Space Coast Plays Host to Elvis Impersonators & Bikers

from Space-Coast.com:
Florida's Space Coast and Elvis Presley Enterprises, Inc. are co-sponsoring the Southeast's first-ever Elvis-themed music festival, "Elvis Has Landed" on October 17-19!

This 3-day music festival will pay tribute to the King of Rock-N-Roll by featuring Elvis tribute artists from around the United States and Canada. Many of whom will perform in dozens of venues around the Florida's Space Coast and the festival's host hotel, Hilton Cocoa Beach Oceanfront, in preparation for the festival's grand finale competition and garner support for the coveted People's Choice Awards.

Besides the Tribute Artist competition, festival goers can also expect dozens of other events to keep them busy such as several main stage concerts, fashion shows, a Kidz Zone, and a vendor pavillion featuring long lost Elvis LPs to retrohome fixtures and furnishings.

The shake, rattle, & roll doesn't stop with Elvis Has Landed! On October 22-25, the 2008 Florida H.O.G Rally rolls into town bringing with them thousands of biking enthusiasts from all over the Southeast!

Rally organizers have four days of events which will months to recuperate from! Not only can you watch drill teams perform, but you can try your hand in the H.O.G roast poker run, or show off your skills at the Bike Games, enter your bike in the highly anticipated Bike Show to take place outside world-famous Ron Jon Surf Shop, show off your ink work in a "Tattoo" contest, or dance the night away at SunCruz Casino's cruise to no where!

Even though it's not too late to register or to find a reasonably priced room on the beach, you better get your motor running!
