Paradise Center for the Arts
Art gallery
👍👍 We attended the Joseph Hall Elvis Tribute Show on Saturday, Nov. 5th.
The show was sold out and the audience was really into the show.
This is I think probably the 5th time that we drove from Monticello to see this show.
It was very entertaining and will definitely be back to see it again next year.
