Head out to this exciting two-day extravaganza downtown at the Hilton Springfield where Elvis tribute artists from across the country vie for $10,000 in cash prizes and a chance to compete in Memphis at the King of the World Competition. The 17th Annual Midwest Tribute to the King Competition is Friday and Saturday, March 1-2. This year rocks with special guest television’s “America’s Got Talent” finalist Joseph Hall and the first time showing of the band, the EAS. Round one takes place Friday night followed by a round two contest on Saturday. The finals are Saturday at 9 p.m., and the fun doesn’t stop there.
