Clear Lake Chamber to take over Rock and Roll celebration

January 29, 2003 By admin

The Clear Lake Chamber of Commerce has agreed to take over the annual event which remembers the rock-and-roll legends who died in a 1959 plane crash in north-central Iowa. Surf Ballroom manager Kevin Schoneman (show-nuh-man) had announced last week that Legend Fest, formerly known as the Winter Dance Party, would be moved to the summer to reduce the costs which bands were charging for making a trip to Iowa during the winter time…but several city leaders, retailers, and hotel managers had frowned on the idea since it would mean an end to the financial shot-in-the-arm every January and February for the north-central Iowa economy. Chamber officials will make a formal announcement in the future about the agreement, saying they are still working out the final details of taking over the event.
