Put on your rhinestones and slick back your hair! YCC is heading to the Georgia mountains for an Elvis extravaganza! We will travel to Cornelia, GA on Friday, August 4th for a tour of artist Joni Mabe's amazing collection of Elvis memorability, which according to Ripley's Believe It or Not and The Guinness Book of World Records is the LARGEST collection in the world! See the legendary Elvis’ Wart and the "Maybe Elvis Toenail". The gift shop features original art and a variety of special Elvis items.

From the Panoramic Encyclopedia of Everything Elvis, to the monumental Glitter Mosaics , to the Dead Southern Icons of the 20th Century at Atlanta Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport, Joni Mabe has cemented her place as a distinctive Georgia artist. Her 30,000 piece Elvis collection is on display at the Loudermilk Boarding House which was built in 1908 and is listed in the National Register of Historic Places.

Just a stroll away from the the Loudermilk is the The Food Factory on Main, where we'll be attending the Championship Show at the 19th annual Big E Fest from 7:00 to 10:00 pm. Prepare yourself for spirited performances and some dazzling costumes. This fiery production will feature appearances by World Champion David Lee, 18th Big E Champion Jordan Poole and 18th Big E Youth Champion Grey Galloway.

We hope you can drop out of the city scene for an unparalleled country experience!

Please note the Loudermilk Boarding House Tour begins at 3pm. We will be day-drinking in Cornelia afterwards till the Big E starts at 6pm. YCC will only be attending the Friday night’s Championship Show but the Big E Fest is featuring events on Saturday and Sunday as well.
