Kraig is the King and he’s back in the park

A white jumpsuit, a Gibson Jumbo Guitar, and the obligatory scarf giveaway – Elvis impersonator Kraig Parker sure knows how to leave ya all shook up! From Vegas to London, and soon, Plano for the EDS Credit Union Balloon Festival, Parker has been swooning audiences for more than 12 years. “It’s a high-energy show,” he said. “It’s an exciting re-creation of the Elvis years in Las Vegas.”
