A CLYDEBANK woman is asking for the help of fellow Bankies so she can re-live her dream.

Margaret McInnes, 49, is currently in the final of a competition run by Elvis Presely Enterprises, and is the only finalist outside of America.

The competition has been running since February and asked anyone who has visited the singers Graceland mansion in Memphis to share their experience, and the story with the most votes wins.

Margaret stayed at the Guesthouse at Graceland in January 2018 with her friend Karen, 45, who is also a huge Elvis fan.

They both grew up in a four-in-a-block in Linnvale, with both of their parents loving Elvis, but 30 years later when in her current house, Margaret realised her next door neighbour Karen was in fact her former neighbour.

After Margaret’s dad died, and Karen’s mum passing, the pair travelled to Graceland last year to pay tribute by writing their names on the wall.

They described their trip as “just like a dream” as they got snowed in the mansion and apart from security they were the only members of the public and were allowed to wander about themselves.

Staff then apologised about the weather and Margaret and Karen were presented with free drinks and tickets to an Elvis movie.

They were not reluctant in booking another trip and visited Graceland in January this year with more flights booked for November for Margaret’s 50th birthday celebrations.

Winning the competition would mean she would receive a complimentary night’s stay in Graceland Guesthouse worth £400.

She said: “But it’s really not about the prize - It’s about coming in first, second or third in a competition run by Elvis Presley Enterprises.”
