I just found this video! I wish I had seen this back in 2015. Just in case someone there still reads these posts, what about that Santa Claus show you did that was sponsored by "Wurzburg's?" I'm now 74 and when I was 5 my mother would call me in to watch the Santa Claus show. It may have only been aired during the Christmas season months. The ad I recall was "Wurzburg's Toyland of more." I contacted the station about 10 years ago and no one there knew anything about it.
My sister and I appeared as audience guests on the Channel 3 Clubhouse..."i think" Saturday a.m. ???? This was before VCR was became popular/affordable.
This really brings back my childhood memories! Beanie Brown and the Channel 3 Clubhouse with the "Our Gang" films...Feminine Fancies with Louise Carver...the news with Hugh Harper and Willis Dunbar. Announcers Al Cook and John Marshall---a tall, thin man with a moustache who I saw go on the air to host the late night movie one New Year's Eve plainly drunk...LOL...They also had a weekday show called "Know Your Schools". I was in the Battle Creek All-City Elementary choir and we were on that show in 1959. They also had a pet adoption show called "Operation K-9"...And I remember their old station ID: "Kalamazoo direct to you! WKZO-TV, Channel 3, serving Grand Rapids and Battle Creek".
I remember The Green Valley Jamboree used to come on around 6 or 7pm, Saturday evenings. Prime time by today standards. Plus we only had 2 channels back then; WOOD-TV Grand Rapids, and WKZO-TV Kalamazoo. Not many choices.
Whatever happened to Michelle Blenco? I remember when she spoke to our sixth grade class..
I remember as a kid, for punishment my Dad made us kids watch Green Valley Jamboree with him.

Never srrend win wit case
There was a weather man he's name was George, what happened to him?
George Elliott, he was pretty funny guy on camera. Think he went to south Carolina. I know he got injured riding a bike by a hit and run offender.
I can't get the link to copy but google him and you'll find out a bunch of stuff. The hit and run accident just about killed him
George Elliot: I remember him leaving to work at the Weather Channel when it first launched.
So there's no footage left from Green Valley Jamboree? I can't seem to find any.
