C’mon Along on a Dream Date with Davy

Twenty-three contest winners spend an outasite day with Davy that ended for them with a kiss!

Twenty-one radio stations across the United States and in Canada sponsored a “Win A Day With Davy Jones Contest” and 23 very lucky young ladies came from Miami, Toronto, Cleveland and all over to meet Davy in Hollywood.

Their first glance at the real live boy came when Davy met the girls at the International Hotel. This is where it began and the whole super-exciting day that followed is one these lucky girls will never forget…
