ENTERTAINMENT GALORE IN TUNICA!
October Festival ‘Celebrate Life in Tunica’ features Bob Anderson

TUNICA, Mississippi (August 13, 2007)— Bob Anderson, world-class singer, impressionist, comedian and entertainer from Branson, MO, will be performing at the Hollywood Casino in Tunica on October 29, 2007, from 4pm – 6pm as part of Celebrate Life in Tunica.  

A Branson favorite, Bob Anderson has also been inducted into the Las Vegas Hall of Fame, proving that what happens in Vegas doesn’t have to stay there!  Celebrate Life visitors get the best of this suave entertainer who reminds us at every show why we loved the ‘Rat Pack’ and the big sounds of Tom Jones, Neil Diamond, Tony Bennett, and more.  People Magazine dubbed him, “America’s Greatest Singing Impressionist,” and Johnny Carson said, “Bob Anderson will knock you out of your seat!”

Immediately following Bob Anderson, the Elvis Extravaganza Regional Contest will also take place at the Hollywood Casino as part of Celebrate Life.  Dozens of Elvis impersonators will compete for the Southeast Regional Title with the winner advancing to the finals to be held on January 6-7, 2008 in Laughlin, NV. 

Celebrate Life is sponsored by the Hollywood Casino and the Tunica Convention and Visitors Bureau.  Additional Celebrate Life in Tunica activities include a Seniors’ Prom, variety shows featuring senior entertainers, A Taste of the South Party,  fitness activities, a wellness fair, a Sock Hop, educational seminars, free gaming tournaments, karaoke, and more! 

“We have an incredible schedule of activities for Celebrate Life in Tunica this year,” comments event promoter Sue Arko.  “It’s like being on a land-based cruise where you have so many activities to choose from throughout the day. There is something for everyone, and our entertainment this year is top-notch.” 

Several ‘Celebrate Life’ packages are available, ranging in price from $204-$274 for a three, four, or five-night stay. Packages include accommodations at Hollywood Casino, taxes, and all Celebrate Life Shows and activities. Prices are per person and based on double occupancy.
