Fan of the Month!
Interviewed by Kayt
For November we are re-running October's very special and youngest Fan of the Month for your reading pleasure, in case any of you missed it last month.
... I think even Harriet, the little red car decorated like the van, was older than this guy! Aleksander may be small in stature but his devotion to Red Elvises is HUGE! He just saw them again recently so he's even happier now. Here's what his dad had to say when nominating him: "I would like to nominate the newest Red Warrior for Fan of the Month.
My 8-year-old son Aleksander Kristofov went with me to the Santa Fe,
NM show this year. He already loved them, but now he's over the top!
He won't let anyone in the house listen to anything but the Red
Elvises, he's coming up with all his own special choreographed dances
and preaching the red gospel to anyone that will stand still long
enough to listen to him. I think we have a fanatic on our hands!!"
'Nuff said! Join me in welcoming, again, our first "junior" Fan of the Month!
