Every year Clear Lake, Iowa hosts a Winter Dance Party to commemorate the rock and roll legacies of Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens and J.P. Richardson, who died in a plane crash after performing there on February 3rd of 1959.

Last weekend members of Valens’ family attended the event in Clear Lake and apparently had memorabilia items stolen from them.
