Junior Miss at Knollwood Plaza held an Open House on April 2 and 3, 1959. Advertised were door prizes, entertainment, a disk jockey broadcasting direct from store, refreshments, and informal modeling.  In the April 15 issue of the Echo, reporter Dede Smith told of the appearance by the Kingston Trio, “dressed in Ivy League clothes and spouting the latest ‘Frisco jazz talk.”  The Kingston Trio had performed at Northrop Auditorium on April 3 and were scheduled to appear at Southdale the Saturday after the 15th.
