Friday
evening at the Logan County Fair, two
musical events stood in sharp contrast even
though many would say one was the father of
the other. On the stage in front of the
grandstands, the King of Rock and Roll was
being immortalized by a variety of Elvis
Impersonators vying to be the best. Also, a
professional impersonator was offering his
version of the gyrating king. |
Traveling north to
the carnival area, the Battle of the Bands was
underway. With a wide variety of music and
performers, LDN caught one modern day rocker taking
it all in.
