The "Friends of the Municipal" are excited and proud to invite both media and public alike to join them on Friday, August 6 at 10:00 a.m. at the Historic Shreveport Municipal Auditorium, for the presentation of the new Museum Display honoring Legendary Louisiana Hayride Announcer Frank Page (also known as: The Man Who Introduced Elvis to the World on Oct. 16th, 1954."

President of the "Friends of the Muni," Larry Porter noted "We are very grateful to Mr. Chester Kelly (former owner of Crescent Landing Catfish Restaurant) for his donation of this beautiful display honoring Mr. Page."

The large four-panel (4'x8' each) laminated boards of some 60 photos depicting Frank's life was originally displayed at Kelly's Restaurant Aug. 28th of 2009.

Along with Kelly, Don Razinsky, GM of Ridgways Reprographics and Page's longtime friend and colleague, Tom Pace worked together on this joint project for over three years.

Said Pace,"After all this time, Frank is being honored with this Wall of Fame, where it rightly belongs, here at the Municipal Auditorium where Elvis first performed at the Hayride, and Page introduced him."

"It's so exciting to know that the Friends of Municipal Auditorium are going to have Frank Page's career on "Special Display" in the Municipal Auditorium," said Louise Burton, Board member of the "Friends of the Muni."

According to former Elvis lead guitarist James Burton, "Frank is a very good friend of mine and played a very important part in the success of the Louisiana Hayride. I will be there to wish him well and give him my support."

"God Bless You Frank" concluded Burton, a member of the Rock 'n Roll Hall of Fame, as well as an early musician appearing with the Louisiana Hayride Band."

Both James ansd Louise Burton will be in attendance, along with SMG VP & G.M. Sam Voisin, and numerous city officials, colleagues and friends of Frank.

The event is free to the public, and cookies and lemonade will be served following the official ceremonies.
