Oh my! That donkey ad would be a little over the top even now. Station owner was mad enough to hire a guy and a donkey to stand out front! Crazy...

Curiosity got the best of me and I had to look it up on a perpetual calendar. The Olds in the background is a 55-57 model, so I started looking for Friday, April 7 starting in 1955. The Grand Opening picture is from 1961.
