October 2003 - Elvis FAN Fest USA 10,11,12th October

During the weekend of October 10th, 11th and 12th, Louis was invited as a special guest to perform at the annual Elvis FANfest held in Portage, Indiana, USA.

Louis and wife Janet enjoyed attending the event and meeting many old friends from two years ago and also some new friends too. The theme of this years event was "Aloha from Indiana" and many people turned out in Hawaii theme dress code. The weather was in good favour too considering Portage is not that far from "The Windy City" of Chicago. The events included the Sock Hop on the Friday, which included various live performances from the showcase tributes and disco hosted by Steve Christopher "Elvis On Air". Elvis contest during Saturday daytime followed by the Main Event Saturday night.

This included performances from the Showcase Artistes backed by the Exspense Accout Band with Myrna Smith of the Sweet Inspirations on backing vocals. The show opened with Louis Rockafella, followed by Quentin Flagg, Irv Cass, William Stiles and Robert Washington which ran almost none stop for over 3hrs! Sunday was the final of the contest followed by further showcase performances and the Special Olympics parade finale. Special guests who attended during the weekend included John Wilkinson (TCB Band - Elvis rhythmn guitarist), Joe Esposito (Elvis bodyguard and road manager), Myrna Smith (Sweet Inspirations) and Patti Parry (Elvis "little sister" and hairdresser). Al Dvorin ("Elvis has left the building") unfortunatley had to cancel last minute due to illness and Julie Parrish Elvis co-star in "Paradise Hawaiian Style" had tragically passed away just a week before the event.

The greatest compliments to Louis came from John Wilkinson who thoroughly enjoyed Louis performance and said to Louis, "Louis, you've got the look and you've got the voice, your just great!" Myrna Smith also commented (in writing) "Louis, Love your voice and your style! You are the complete gentleman!" Louis took copies of his new CD with him called "The Spirit Of Elvis" which went down well with fans too. Rosie from Portage who was lucky enough to have her photo taken with Elvis while he was stationed in Germany said "Louis, your CD is so darn good! Love it so much!!! your such a dear sweet guy and I love the way you sang the CD "

Thanks go out to John, Myrna, Patti, Steve, Babs, Brian. Dorothy, Kay, Terry and Carol, Rosie and everyone who helped make Louis trip so enjoyable. Not forgetting a big thank you to Angela (Louis cousin) and her son Sean who travelled over from California just to see Louis perform, and Louis Rockafella fans from USA, Roger & Evelyn.
