Welcome TO ELVIS WEEK...

Dear Fans,
Welcome to Memphis and Elvis Week 2009. We
appreciate you joining us here in Memphis from all around
the world to help celebrate Elvis’ amazing legacy.
This year’s celebration pays a special tribute to 1969, a
landmark year in Elvis’ career. Just coming off the success
of his 1968 television special, the following year proved to
be a breakthrough year in Elvis’ career with the American
Sound Studio recordings and his return to live performing
with the opening at the International Hotel.

We hope you enjoy the many great Elvis Week events planned for this year,
including some new events and old fan favorites. In addition, during your stay we
hope you have time to enjoy the various new exhibits at Graceland that opened
this year, including our new Elvis in Hollywood Exhibit, the Elvis Lives Exhibit,
Graceland 70th Anniversary Exhibit, Stable Tour and new additions to the car
museum, including Elvis’ John Deere tractor that has been fully-restored.
On behalf of Elvis Presley Enterprises, we thank you for being here with us
and look forward to an exciting week.

Jack Soden
CEO
Elvis Presley Enterprises, Inc .

anyone up for a road trip to Memphis? I adore Elvis but have never been to Graceland. I would imagine this would NOT be the week to do the big tour...

I think you must be right about that. Can you imagine what Graceland is going to be like today, on the anniversary of his death? Ooooh baby. It doesn't paint a pretty picture!
