I came across these great photos taken by photographer Chris Helgren for REUTERS at the 2015 Collingwood Elvis Festival. Probably many of you were there in 2015 and may even remember seeing these photos. If so, please enjoy them for a second time. For me, they were a priceless find. SIDEBURNS Magazine did not launch until 2017 and I did not attend the Collingwood Elvis Festival until 2018. And as we all know, Collingwood held its last Elvis Festival in 2019, making any early photos of the popular festival even more special. Many of the people in the photos I have met over the past few years, but there are a couple of ETAs in the photos who are new to me.
In the following photos (top to bottom) are: 1) Brad Mitchell 2) Dave Stewart 3) Gordie McNeil 4) Joey Cundari 5) Lorenz Francke 6) Marcus Wells and Wendy King 7) Norm Ackland Jr. and Jax 8) Dan Barrella 9) Richard Wolfe 10) Norm Ackland Sr. and his Elvis jewelry. C.M.
