Central New Yorkers no longer need to go all the way to Hollywood's
famous Chinese Theatre to see their favorite celebrities' handprints.

| Ringo makes a handprint impression for the Turning Stone Resort & Casino's new Hands of Fame exhibit in Verona,NY |
The Turning Stone Resort & Casino launched its new Hands of Fame
exhibit on Monday, which will memorialize musicians and other performers
who come to the Verona, N.Y. entertainment venue. And the first
handprint on display is none other than one of the Beatles.
Ringo,
who celebrates his 74th birthday today, created the inaugural handprint
after his performance at the Turning Stone Event Center last month.
"Turning Stone is incredibly excited and honored to launch our Hands
of Fame display with the handprints of beloved rock and roll hero Ringo
Starr," Oneida Indian Nation Representative Ray Halbritter said in a
statement. "We look forward to seeing the collection grow and expand
alongside Turning Stone Resort Casino for many years to come."
Fans can now see Starr's handprint and (soon) other stars inside The GIG, the new rock club that opened last year with alongside other Exit 33 venues the Tin Rooster, Turquoise Tiger and Atrium Bar.
Ringo recently celebrated the Beatles' 50th anniversary of
their U.S. debut on "The Ed Sullivan Show" with Paul.
The Fab Four drummer-turned-solo frontman has also released 17 solo
albums in his career and is currently on tour with his All Starr Band.
