It's Eddie Cochran time once again, and this year another Albert Lea native will be honored along with the musical legend.

Marion Ross, who lived in Albert Lea through her teen years, will leave her handprints in cement as part of a new 1950s exhibit for the Freeborn County Historical Society. Ross is best known for her role on as Mrs. Cunningham on the sitcom "Happy Days." The ceremony began at 11 a.m. today at the county museum. Ross will also be co-hosting the opening of Austin's Spam museum this weekend.

The new exhibit will primarily feature Ross and Cochran memorabilia and photos of their youth and families in Albert Lea.

Eddie Cochran was born in Albert Lea in 1938 and he soon taught himself to play the guitar. After moving to California as a teenager, he became an up-and-coming music star of the '50s, until his untimely death on Easter Sunday, 1960, because of a car accident in England. His music has been noted as an influence on other groups from the Beatles to Rod Stewart to Billy Idol.

Changes to this year's celebration include a revised car-cruise route, where dozens of classic cars parade through the streets, and new musical performances. This year's route begins and ends at the county fairgrounds, traveling on Fountain Street, Broadway, Townhall Road, Highway 13, County Road 101, and Bath Road back into Albert Lea.
