DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) -- Gov. Chet Culver wants Iowa to rock the weekend of Aug. 30.
Culver has signed a proclamation designating the weekend of Aug. 30 through Sept. 1 as "Iowa RockNRoll Weekend."
The state is recognizing Iowa RockNRoll Music Association's Hall of Fame inductions. This will be the 12th year of inductions.
Two concerts have been planned in conjunction with the proclamation. The first, on Aug. 30, will feature the IRRMA Hall of Fame Induction Awards Ceremony. It's to be followed by a reunion of two performers from last year's concert, Mario Ramirez, Ritchie Valens' brother, and Richie Lee, from Des Moines.
The concerts will be at Arnold's Park.
