CAST OF BUDDY STOPS BY THE SURF BALLROOM, CLEAR LAKE

En route to Dubuque, we stopped by the Surf Ballroom in Clear Lake, Iowa - location of Buddy, Ritchie Valens, and the Big Bopper's last performance on the 'Winter Dance Party Tour' in February, 1959. Check out our pics from the Surf...
This iconic venue is listed on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places. What an amazing place to visit!
