OWEN SOUND, Ont. - This year's Elvis Festival in Collingwood, Ont., will have a very special guest.

Chilean miner Edison Pena (Pain-Ya) will be at the festival later this month.

Pena was one of the 33 miners trapped for 69 days last summer and often sang Elvis songs while underground.

This will be the first time Pena has been to Canada and he is looking forward to the opportunity to hone his skills as an Elvis Presley tribute artist.

Pena will be making appearances throughout the festival.

The Collingwood Elvis Festival runs from July 21-24.
