Brittany Lucas and Braelyn Skidgel looked stunning Tuesday night in their white jumpsuits, large gold-framed sunglasses and black hair.

It was just the right look to salute the king of rock n’ roll.

Braelyn, just 11 years old, said she loves Elvis Presley for his music and “his ego.”

Lucas said she appreciates all he did for the music industry. And besides, it was something fun to do on a summer night in Augusta.

“Augusta doesn’t have much like this that ever goes on,” Lucas said as they waited to get into the Augusta Civic Center for an event that organizers hoped would put the city on the Elvis map.

But just about an hour later, despite scores of other Elvises, it was obvious that not enough of them showed up to break the Guinness World Record for the number of Elvis impersonators in one place.

That 2014 record — 895— is held by Harrah’s Cherokee Casino Resort in North Carolina.

“Obviously, as you can see, we did not break the record,” Jessi Mallory, Elvis tribute artist, said from the stage. “We tried. For Maine, this is the biggest gathering of Elvises ever.”

About 300 people showed up for the event, part of the civic center’s celebration of its 50th anniversary.

Attendees had the option to dress in one of three Elvis costumes — jailhouse rock, dressy or jumpsuit — and they had to sing “Hound Dog” at the same time while organizers got an official headcount.

Most opted for the white jumpsuit, though Augusta Police Chief Jared Mills looked sharp as “dressy Elvis.” A few opted for the striped jailhouse look.

Some sported bushy sideburns and there was more jet-black hair than a 30th high school reunion.

Elvis’ only show in Maine was at the Augusta Civic Center on May 24, 1977. A ticket stub from that show — at a cost of $15 — and a picture of Elvis sat on a stool on the corner of the stage on Tuesday.

Elvis was scheduled to perform in Portland a few months later on Aug. 17, 1977, but he died at Graceland the day before at age 42.

“I’ve loved Elvis my whole life,” said Jason Lee of Canton, who said he was trying out his jumpsuit in advance of an appearance as Elvis for a woman’s 95th birthday in September.

And though he expressed disappointment that he and the others didn’t set the Guinness record, he was heartened by the response.

“It’s great we had as many people turn out as we did,” he said. “Elvis is carrying on even through the younger generation.”
