(Des Moines)– Governor Chet Culver wants Iowa to rock the weekend of August 30th.
Culver has signed a proclamation designating the weekend of August 30th through September 1st as “Iowa Rock ‘n Roll Weekend.”
The state is recognizing the Iowa Rock ‘n Roll Music Association’s Hall of Fame inductions to be held that weekend at Arnolds Park. This will be the 12th year for the inductions.
Two concerts will be held that weekend. The first, August 30th, will feature the IRRMA Hall of Fame Induction Awards Ceremony. It will be followed by a reunion of two performers from last year’s concert, Mario Ramirez, Ritchie Valens’ brother, and Richie Lee, from Des Moines.
