comprising 37 original photographs of Elvis Presley, his fans, Gary and Mrs. Pepper at the Mid-South Fairgrounds in Memphis, Tennessee, along with nine original negatives. After he returned from the Army, Elvis began a tradition of post-midnight parties at the Mid-South Fairgrounds, where he could enjoy the park in peace with his closest friends and relatives. The present collection of photographs documents multiple occasions at the Mid-South Fairgrounds in the early sixties. One photograph shows Elvis with Gary and Mrs. Pepper, who are seated in the red battery-powered cart Elvis gave to Gary; two show one of Elvis' favorite rides, the "Dodgem Cars"; other photographs feature Elvis signing autographs or relaxing with relatives and friends.
