The “King of Rock and Roll” will be in Valdosta on July 12 at the Valdosta Performing Arts Center. 

This will be the 14th year that Alzheimer’s Caregiver Time Out has hosted this

event. Austin Irby will return playing tribute to Elvis Presley. Austin won 3 rd place at the Las Vegas Elvis Festival last year. Showtime is 6:30-10 p.m. and will also include multi-talented, award winning ventriloquist Cole Tucker.

There will be cakes and candies available for purchase in the lobby area. Tickets for raffle items will be on sale as well.

The Moody Color Guard will start the program by presenting the colors. This is to honor those of our military, past or present, suffering with Alzheimer’s or dementia.

Proceeds from this event enable ACTO to continue and improve its services. 

With Alzheimer’s on the rise, the program is proving its importance. Every 66 seconds someone is diagnosed with Alzheimer’s. Eighty percent of those are cared for by family and friends. Therefore it is important to offer services as much as possible.
