1964 - The First Christmas Season in the City of Thousand Oaks
The City of Thousand Oaks was incorporated in the fall of 1964, thus making December 1964 the city’s first Christmas season. Here are some advertisements from that year.
Christmas gifts at the local Conejo Village Camera store.
Double feature at the Fox Conejo includes Roustabout (starring Elvis Presley and Barbara Stanwyck) and Looking for Love, starring Connie Francis. Roustabout featured scenes shot in the Conejo Valley, including Elvis’ “Wheels on my Heels” scene in local Hidden Valley.
The perfect head to toe Christmas gift from the Los Robles Greens Gift and Golf Shop.
Talk to Santa Claus, courtesy of the Conejo Village (now Janss Marketplace) Shopping Center. KNJO “Conejo” signed on in 1963, whose claim to fame was that it was the first FM station on the west coast to broadcast in stereo. The original owner of KNJO apparently was Sandy Koufax!
Santa appearances at Jungleland every Saturday and Sunday!
