This is the community’s golden opportunity to demonstrate it face to face.”

Wow. I happened across this picture of Roy LeBlanc and honestly think it is just a picture of the real Elvis and just labelled as Roy. Quite an uncanny resemblance. Make sure to pick up a ticket for Saturday night’s Elvis concert with Rod Stewart and Tom Jones. It’s just 30 bucks for a ticket in advance (you can get them at Alfie’s, Shoppers Drug Mart on Algonquin East and at McDonald’s Pharmacy in South Porcupine).
It’s sure to be an awesome show. Also we’ll have Roy on Friday morning’s Mark and Mandy morning show so make sure to tune in.
