the Junior Jamboree

[the seeker]

When I was young we used to get free tickets from businesses for the Junior Jamboree. Movies....Tarzan, Abbott & Costello, etc.....were shown and prizes were given too. This was a summer event open to all kids. It was fun. It was at the Princess Theatre....
A radio personality was the M C.....does anyone remember his name????
