I frequent Collingwood on a regular basis and most times it is a ghost town. I also have been attending the festival for years. The town is busting that weekend. Why would you end a good thing. I support for it to return.

The Elvis Festival needs to remain. It has brought so much publicity and so many new visitors to Collingwood and it is a family oriented festival that the town should be proud of.

It brings a lot of Tourists into Town & if Collingwood gives it up, someone else will grab it.

We have been coming to Collingwood Festival for 20 yrs along with 5 others and it’s the best festival we look forward to it every year it would be such a wrong thing to stop and think of the money it brings into your town

Hello Fellow Collingwood Residents, Business Owners and Friends, Are you aware that an important piece of our town's success and international recognition is in jeopardy and needs our help to ensure it continues to bring investment and interest into our beautiful Collingwood! You may be a supporter, or a fan, or you may not, but you can certainly appreciate the recognition and economic impact that the Collingwood Elvis Festival has brought over the past 24 years. What some folks look upon as "losses" to tax payer dollars, others see as an investment in our town's growth, development and economic prosperity. Promotion and international presence for Collingwood that would be beyond our budget to purchase. Grant money received for improvements to OUR town that would not have available to us otherwise, all thanks to the Collingwood Elvis Festival. Like it or not, that is a reality and a fact that is undisputed. On Monday, November 19th, 2018 from 5 p.m. to 6 p.m. in the Community Rooms on the 3rd floor of the Public Library is an open meeting to discuss our community's Strategic Plan, which in part suggests retirement of the Elvis Festival. I am asking you to please take time to come out and bring your voice to protest the discontinuation of this Festival!! No other local event has drawn attendance or attention to our town, in a POSITIVE way, and we sure could use some good profile in the media in these dark days. Please join the efforts to save this unusual, albeit significant part of Collingwood's legacy and history. Come out Monday, use your voice to let our Town Council know that letting go of OUR FESTIVAL is not what we, the residents and taxpayers want, nor do we feel it is in the best interest of our Town. Show them that discontinuation of the ONLY event that brings outside spending and investment into Collingwood, that assists some area businesses to carry through their slow seasons, does not bode well publicly to inspire future growth

This festival has me driving 8 hrs from NH to participate. Claimed to be one of the best by Priscilla. Don’t let it die. Brings a lot of attention to a town I never would have visited

The Elvis festival brings in a lot of revenue for Collingwood, you will surely miss it when it is gone.

It's a tradition that needs to stay for the millions of Elvis fans around the world and the thousand that attend. Nothing else compares with it to help this towns economic growth.
